In group of 20 randomly selected horses, the mean is 1,000 and the standard deviation is 25, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution?​

Sagot :

Answer:

To find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (also known as the standard error of the mean), you use the following formula:

\[ \text{Standard Error (SE)} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]

where:

- \(\sigma\) is the population standard deviation

- \(n\) is the sample size

Given:

- Population standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) = 25

- Sample size (\(n\)) = 20

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{SE} = \frac{25}{\sqrt{20}} \]

First, calculate \(\sqrt{20}\):

\[ \sqrt{20} \approx 4.47 \]

Then, divide 25 by 4.47:

\[ \text{SE} \approx \frac{25}{4.47} \approx 5.59 \]

So, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is approximately 5.59.
