9.13 Given a sample size of 36, how large does the population standard deviation have to be in order for the standard error to be (a) 1 ? (b) 2 ? (c) 5 ? (d) 100 ? The standard error is: 𝑆𝐸 = 𝜎 √𝑁 Where 𝜎 is the population standard deviation and 𝑁 is the sample size. We can solve for 𝜎 and obtain, 𝜎 = 𝑆𝐸√𝑁 Therefore, if we have a sample size of 𝑁 = 36, we obtain, 𝜎 = 𝑆𝐸√36 = 6𝑆𝐸 Thus, we can calculate how large the population standard deviation must be to obtain a given standard error 𝑆𝐸. The following table summarizes the results, Standard Error How large the population standard deviation (SE) value (𝝈) must be (a) 1 𝜎 = 6𝑆𝐸 = 6(1) = 6 (b) 2 𝜎 = 6𝑆𝐸 = 6(2) = 12 (c) 5 𝜎 = 6𝑆𝐸 = 6(5) = 30 (d) 100 𝜎 = 6𝑆𝐸 = 6(100) = 600 In conclusion, for larger standard deviation values, the standard error is greater. 10.10 Let’s assume that, over the years, a paper and pencil test of anxiety yields a mean score of 35 for all incoming college freshmen. We wish to determine whether the scores of a random sample of 20 new freshmen, with a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 10, ...
