alleryStart learning →The standard error appears in calculator routines as a parameter alongside:
AJust the sample size
BJust the population total
CThe median and mode
DLower and upper value, mean
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Lower and upper value, mean
1. Normal probability routines need the distribution fully specified.
2. A normal distribution is fixed by its centre and its spread.
3. The parameter list runs lower value, upper value, mean, standard error of the mean.
4. The standard error plays the role the standard deviation plays for an individual observation.
5. Medians and modes are not parameters of the normal distribution at all.
