anyone know about standard error?
I have a population mean and a sample mean, but which one do i use for the formula??!
I'm hearing both from online info
The standard error is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. The term may also be used to refer to an estimate of that standard deviation, derived from a particular sample used to compute the estimate. @cbkb1234
so i would use my sample mean?? and not my population mean?
Tell me what its asking. That way its easier for me to help you out.. @cbkb1234
Calculate standard error (the question) and my numbers are SAMPLE; mean=3.13 SD=0.53 n=86 and POPULATION mean=3.02 SD=0.54
the equation is sigma/sqrt(86)
but what goes in the sigma? the sample SD or the Population SD
never mind I figured it out
