Standard Error of the Mean

Margin of error equals:

• Critical Value ∗ standard Error

• z*

• 1.96

• Standard Error

An IQ test was given to a simple random sample of 75 students at a certain college. The sample mean score was 105.2. Scores on this test are known to have a standard deviation of 10. It is desired to construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean IQ scores of the students at the college.

You are given two sets of data measuring the same information, both with the same sample size. Set A has a larger Standard Error than Set B. If you were looking for a 99.8% Confidence Interval, which set would have a larger Margin of Error?

• Set A

• Set B

• Not enough information

• I have no idea what you're asking me to do
