suppose your group measures the following three numbers in some experiment: 12.4,7.8,10.2. if you use half the range as an estimate of the standard deviation, what is the standard error on the mean of these numbers?

Sagot :

The standard error on the mean of these numbers is 1.08

For given question,

suppose your group measures the following three numbers in some experiment: 12.4,7.8,10.2

Mean of these numbers is:

[tex]\bar x=\frac{ 12.4+7.8+10.2}{3}\\\\ \bar x=10.13[/tex]

So the standard deviation would be,

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(12.4-10.13)^2+(7.8-10.13)^2+(10.2-10.13)^2}{3} }\\\\\sigma=1.88[/tex]

Now we find  the standard error on the mean of these numbers.

[tex]\sigma_M=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N} }[/tex]

where, [tex]\sigma_M[/tex] = standard error of the mean

σ = the standard deviation of the original distribution

N = the sample size

[tex]\sigma_M=\frac{1.88}{\sqrt{3} }\\\\\sigma_M=1.08[/tex]

Therefore, the standard error on the mean of these numbers is 1.08
