Advanced MCQ on Standard Error with Answer Key (PDF)







Standard error (SE) measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population. It quantifies the variability of a sample mean by showing how much it is likely to differ from the true population mean. SE is calculated by dividing the sample’s standard deviation (SD) by the square root of the sample size (n). Mathematically, it’s expressed as SE = SD/√n. A smaller SE indicates that the sample mean is a more precise estimate of the population mean. SE is crucial in inferential statistics, especially when constructing confidence intervals and conducting hypothesis tests. This is an advanced (PG Level) MCQ on Standard Error (SE) with answer key.
