Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "standard error" is used for the distribution of means, which is the standard deviation of the sample means from multiple random samples taken from the same population. This is different from the population variance (B) which is the variance of the entire population, and mean variance (C) which is not a commonly used statistical term. Standard variance (A) is not a commonly used term and may be confused with standard deviation.
