Standard Error of the Mean: Concept and Formula | Statistics Tutorial #6 | MarinStatsLectures


Summary

The video delves into the statistical concept of standard error of the sample mean, emphasizing that it is Sigma (population standard deviation) over square root of n. It explains how the variance of a constant times X and the sum of two independent variables influence the variance. By deriving the variance of the sample mean in relation to the variance of X and the sample size n, it elucidates the calculation leading to the formula: standard deviation of the sample mean equals Sigma over square root of n.


Introduction to Standard Deviation of Sample Mean
