Systolic blood pressure in healthy adults is normally distributed with mean 112 mmHg and standard deviation 10 mmHg. You take 15 healthy adult patient blood pressure readings and find that the average is 110 mmHg and the standard deviation is 12 mmHg. Compute the standard error. Round to two decimal places (the hundredths place).
