Samples of n = 16 are selected from a population.If the distribution of sample means has a standard error of 2 points,then the population has a standard deviation of σ = 8.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard error (SE) of the mean for a sample of size n is given by SE = σ/√n, where σ is the population standard deviation.

Here, we are given SE = 2 and n = 16.

So, 2 = 8/√16

Simplifying this equation, we get 2 = 8/4, which is true.

Therefore, the answer is A (True).
