Standard error estimates how much a sample mean varies from the true mean.

The math behind it

SE = standard deviation ÷ √(sample size). Bigger samples give smaller error.

Worked Example

SD 15, n 36 → SE 2.5.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vs standard deviation?

SD describes data spread; SE describes the precision of the mean.
