Question

Find "n" if the Standard Error of Mis 4 and the population standard deviation is 16.

Answer 1

Given:

Standard error = 4

Population standard deviation = 16

To find:

The value of n.

Solution:

The formula of standard error is:

`SE=(\sigma)/(√(n))`

Where, SE is standard error ,
`\sigma` is population standard deviation and n is the total number of elements.

Substituting
`SE=4,\sigma=16` in the above formula, we get

`4=(16)/(√(n))`

`√(n)=(16)/(4)`

`√(n)=4`

Taking square on both sides, we get

`n=4^2`

`n=16`

Therefore, the value of n is 16.
