IQ is normally distributed in the population with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What is the standard error of the mean for a sample of 25 people?

A) 15

B) 5

C) 3

D) 20

Explanation / Answer

1.

Mean = 100
Stdev = 4
Varinace of sampling distribution for N=50 is = 4^2 / 50 = .32

4)

Mean = 100

Stdev = 15

Stde error for sample of 25 people = Stdev/sqrt(25) = 15/5 = 3
