A population has a mean of 606 and a standard deviation of 23. For a sample of N = 500, what is the population standard error of the mean  ?
A) .10 
B) 1.02 
C) 1.03 
D) 1.1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for population standard error of the mean is:

SE = σ/√n

where σ is the population standard deviation, n is the sample size.

Plugging in the values, we get:

SE = 23/√500

SE = 1.03

Therefore, the answer is C.

A Population Has a Mean of 606 and a Standard
