Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard error of the mean/proportion refers to the variability of the mean/proportion within a sampling distribution. It is related to the standard deviation of the population, but specifically pertains to the distribution of means/proportions from multiple samples. The standard error is not the same as the standard deviation of a single sample or the population, and it is not a standardized value, coefficient, or variance.
