Step 1
Standard deviation:
The standard deviation is the measured of dispersion or spread. Standard deviation is the square root of the averaged squared differences from the mean. In other words, it is the distance between the mean and each value of the data set.
Standard error:
The standard error is the standard deviation for the sampling distribution. That is, it is deviation of the sample mean from the mean of population.

Assume a researcher recruits 150 African American and Caucasian individuals taking warfarin to determine if there is a difference in the mean dosage of the medication needed to cause a decrease in their INR blood test. If the mean dosage for 75 Caucasian individuals required to get their INR blood test in range is 6.1 mg with a standard deviation of 1.7 mg and the mean dosage for 75 African American individuals required to get their INR blood test in range is 4.3 mg with a standard deviation of 0.9 mg, the S p value obtained while calculating the test statistic is approximately 1.14 mg.

- The distribution of sample variances tends to be a normal distribution. true or false?arrow_forwardAverage is 16.7, standard deviation is 3.6, what's x only 14% lower than?arrow_forwardAn article in a local town newspaper discusses the results of state test scores in their town. The reporter headlines, "The students in this town don't have the necessary skills. The overall student population is less than what is reported at the state level" The state test says that a score of 261 or higher on its test reflects the student has the skills needed to graduate. A local town newspaper conducted a random sample of 200 students and found the mean to be 257 and a standard deviation of 41 points. a. State the null (H0) and alternative (Ha) hypotheses. b.
