A sample of 250 observations is selected from a normal population with a population standard deviation of 25. The sample mean is 20. Determine the standard error of the mean. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is  [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 1.581[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  =  250

      The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 25[/tex]

          The sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 20[/tex]

The standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

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

substituting values

        [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = \frac{25 }{\sqrt{250} }[/tex]

       [tex]\sigma _{\= x } = 1.581[/tex]
