What is the standard error of a sampling distribution with a population standard deviation of 12 and the sample size of 81?

a. Zero
b. 36/12
c. 12/36
d. 1.3333

Respuesta :

Answer: d. 1.3333

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the standard error of a sampling distribution is given by :-

[tex]S.E.=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

, where [tex]\sigma[/tex] = Population standard deviation.

n= Sample size.

AS per given , we have

[tex]\sigma =12[/tex]

n=81

Then, the standard error of a sampling distribution with a population standard deviation of 12 and the sample size of 81 will be :-

[tex]S.E.=\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{81}}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9^2}}=\dfrac{12}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\approx1.3333[/tex]

Hence, the standard error of a sampling distribution with a population standard deviation of 12 and the sample size of 81 is 1.3333.

Thus the correct answer is d. 1.3333 .
