Answer: 1.667
The standard error of the sample mean is calculated using the formula: SE = σ/√n, where σ is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size. Given: - Population standard deviation (σ) = 10 - Sample size (n) = 36 Calculation: SE = 10/√36 = 10/6 = 1.6667 ≈ 1.667 Note: The observed mean of 97.8 is not needed for calculating the standard error. The standard error measures the variability of sample means around the population mean, not the specific value of any particular sample mean.
