What is the difference between standard error of mean and standard deviation of means?

Standard error of the mean (SEM) and standard deviation of the mean is the same thing. However, standard deviation is not the same as the SEM. To obtain SEM from the standard deviation, divide the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size.


Is sigma the same thing as standard deviation?

The lower case sigma character (σ) represents standard deviation.


Variance and standard deviation are one and the same thing?

No. But they are related. If a sample of size n is taken, a standard deviation can be calculated. This is usually denoted as "s" however some textbooks will use the symbol, sigma. The standard deviation of a sample is usually used to estimate the standard deviation of the population. In this case, we use n-1 in the denomimator of the equation. The variance of the sample is the square of the sample's standard deviation. In many textbooks it is denoted as s2. In denoting the standard deviation and variance of populations, the symbols sigma and sigma2 should be used. One last note. We use standard deviations in describing uncertainty as it's easier to understand. If our measurements are in days, then the standard deviation will also be in days. The variance will be in units of days2.


How do you find deviation mean?

There is no such thing. Maybe your professor meant , Standard Deviation, The Mean. (2 different things.)


What is the sample size for standard deviation?

There is no such thing. The standard error can be calculated for a sample of any size greater than 1.


What is the relationship between Confidence Interval and decreased Standard Deviation?

There is absolutely no relationship to what you've asked. I'm pretty sure you simply framed the question in the wrong way, but to literally answer your question... none. Zero relationship. There's no such thing. There is however a relationship between standard deviation and a CI, but a CI can in no shape way or form influence a standard deviation.


What is the variance and standard devation of 7?

"Variance" and "Standard deviation" are numbers that describe a set of data that typically contains several numbers. Applied to a single number, neither of them has any meaning. -- The variance, standard deviation, and mean squared error of 7 are all zero. -- The mean, median, mode, average, max, min, RMS, and absolute value of 7 are all 7 . None of these facts tells you a thing about ' 7 ' that you didn't already know as soon as you found out that it was ' 7 '.


What is the standardizing variables?

There doesn't exist such a thing. What does exist are standardized variables, which are variables with mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1


A score set has a mean of 53 and a standard deviation of 5.6 If each score was multiplied by 0.9 and then had 7 added state the new standard deviation?

Standard deviation is the spread of the data. If each score has 7 added, this would not affect the spread of the data - it would be just as evenly spaced or clumped up, but 7 greater. The only thing that would affect the spread is multiplying every data point by 0.9. This makes distances between the data points 0.9 times as big, and thus makes the standard deviation 0.9 times as big. The standard deviation was 5.6, and so now is 5.6x0.9 = 5.04


What is absolute Safety and absolute health?

There is no such thing as "absolute safety" or "absolute health."


Do people believe there are no absolute truth and justice?

Depends on who you ask. Most people; regrettably, are religious, so they think god is the standard for absolute truth and justice. Others think there is no such thing and we're just reacting to other people.


How do you find the sample size if you are given the confidence interval and the margin of error as well as the standard deviation?

You can't. You need an estimate of p (p-hat) q-hat = 1 - p-hat variance = square of std dev sample size n= p-hat * q-hat/variance yes you can- it would be the confidence interval X standard deviation / margin of error then square the whole thing
