Question 85488This question is from textbook elementary statistics in social research
: Suppose that the population standard deviation (o) for a normally distributed standardized test of achievement is known to be 7.20. What would the standard error of the sample mean (o-x)be if we were to draw a random smaple of 16 test scores?
Please help...show the work please.

-----------------
standard error (SE) = sigma/sqrt(sample size) = 7.2/sqrt16 = 7.2/4 = 1.8
