Step 1
Step 1: The standard error of the mean (SEM) is given by the formula: $SEM = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$, where $\sigma$ is the population standard deviation and $n$ is the sample size. Show more…

The law of large numbers tells us that as sample size n increases: - the sample mean approaches the population mean. - the sample standard deviation approaches σ/√n. - the sample standard deviation approaches σ/√n, and the sample mean approaches the population mean.

'The law of large numbers states that as the number of observations drawn at random from population with finite mean / increases, the mean x of the observed values: gets smaller and smaller: fluctuates steadily between standard deviation above and standard deviation below the mean. tends to get closer and closer to the population mean / gets larger and larger:'

STANDARD ERROR 1. True or false: As the sample size increases, the standard error mean increases. 2. Suppose an unknown distribution has the following characteristics: μ=35 and σ=3.3 Determine the standard error of the mean if you draw random samples of size 100
