How does one calculate the standard error of the sample mean?
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
What affects the standard error of the mean?
The standard error of the underlying distribution, the method of selecting the sample from which the mean is derived, the size of the sample.
What happens to the standard error of the mean if the sample size is decreased?
The standard error increases.
What is the difference standard error of mean and sampling error?
The standard error of the mean and sampling error are two similar but still very different things. In order to find some statistical information about a group that is extremely large, you are often only able to look into a small group called a sample. In order to gain some insight into the reliability of your sample, you have to look at its standard deviation. Standard deviation in general tells you spread out or variable your data is. If you have a low standard deviation, that means your data is very close together with little variability. The standard deviation of the mean is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the number of things in the sample. What this essentially tells you is how certain are that your sample accurately describes the entire group. A low standard error of the mean implies a very high accuracy. While the standard error of the mean just gives a sense for how far you are away from a true value, the sampling error gives you the exact value of the error by subtracting the value calculated for the sample from the value for the entire group. However, since it is often hard to find a value for an entire large group, this exact calculation is often impossible, while the standard error of the mean can always be found.
Why is the sample standard deviation used to derive the standard error of the mean?
the sample mean is used to derive the significance level.
What does the standard error mean?
For a sample of data it is a measure of the spread of the observations about their mean value.

What does it mean when the standard error value is smaller than the standard deviation?
It simply means that you have a sample with a smaller variation than the population itself. In the case of random sample, it is possible.
Why is the sample standard deviation used to derive the standard error of the mean?
the sample mean is used to derive the significance level.
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.
Is the standard error of the sample mean assesses the uncertainty or error of estimation?
yes
If standard deviation 20 and sample size is 100 then standard error of mean is?
2
When we know the population mean but not the population standard deviation which statistic do we use to compare a sample to the population?
The sample standard error.
What is the T-Test formula?
t= absolute value of ( sample 1 - sample two) THEN DIVIDED by the (standard error of sample one - standard error of sample 2) standard error = the standard deviation divided by (square root of the pop. sample number) You have to work in steps to get all info 1. mean ( REPRESENTED BY 'Xbar') 2. sum of squares ('SS') 3. Sample variance ('s^2') 4. standard deviation ('s') 5. standard error ('s subscript x') 6. pooled measure ('s^2p') 7. Standard error between means (s subscript mean one-mean two) 8. t test In other word finding the mean and having ht esample info leads you to each formula with the end formular being the t-test have fun, its easy but dumb
