Problem
Salesmen for the ABC Plastics Company drive an average of 240 miles per day with a standard deviation of 36 miles. If samples of 25 daily mileages are taken, what is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means?
6.8
7.0
7.1
7.2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Error = sigma/sqrt(n)
Standard Error = 36/sqrt(25)
Standard Error = 36/5
Standard Error = 7.2
The standard error, aka the standard deviation of the sample means, is 7.2
