Question

The standard error of the mean is a name for the standard deviation of the __________________ (fill in the blank correctly)

- individual sample

- sampling distribution of the mean

- population proportion

- population mean

- sampling distribution of the proportion

Answer 1

The correct option is "- sampling distribution of the mean"

Because we have "standard error of the mean" So the option including word "proportion" are not correct.

For individual sample we used word  standard deviation, so we reject first option also.

Population mean is a constant and so we reject this option also.

When we want to obtained sample distribution then it's sampling distribution with mean called sample mean and its standard deviation is called as "standard deviation".
