standard deviation divided by the sqrt(sample size)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.4/sqrt(?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the saple size

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the sample size or is it suppose to be missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it 23.4?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many pigs did they experiment on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then the size of the sample is ... 35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol im stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e=3.4/35?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square root of 35

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3.4/sqrt(35)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
