Why is the standard error a smaller numerical value compared to the standard deviation?
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.
Does standard deviation and mean deviation measure dispersion the same?
No. The average of the deviations, or mean deviation, will always be zero. The standard deviation is the average squared deviation which is usually non-zero.
Is the mean for a set of data always greater than the standard deviation?
Yes; the standard deviation is the square root of the mean, so it will always be larger.
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
