A researcher is examining the relationship between IQ and crime. She calculates the mean for her sample as 96.24 on a standard IQ score. She finds a standard deviation of 8.62 and has a sample of 200. Using this information, answer the following questions.



1.1 What is the standard error for her sample?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The standard error for her sample is SE = 0.6095

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the standard error of the mean is:

[tex]SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation

[tex]n[/tex] is the sample size.

For the information provided in the problem we know that:

[tex]\sigma = 8.62[/tex]

[tex]n = 200[/tex]

Then we introduce these values in the formula of the error to obtain the value.

[tex]SE = \frac{8.62}{\sqrt{200}}[/tex]

[tex]SE = 0.6095[/tex]
