Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.

The mean of a population being sampled is 64, and the standard deviation is 6.


If the sample size is 50, the standard error of the mean is __. (Round off your answer to the nearest hundredth.)

1 answer

The standard error of the mean is calculated by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.

In this case, the standard deviation is 6 and the sample size is 50.

Standard error of the mean = standard deviation / √(sample size)
= 6 / √(50)
= 6 / 7.07
= 0.849 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the standard error of the mean is 0.85.
