Question

The time it takes for climbers to reach the highest point of a mountain is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.75 hours. If a sample of 35 people is drawn randomly from the population, what would be the standard error of the mean of the sample?
0.02
0.13
0.17
0.40
0.76

Answer 1

The best approach to this is to use the formular 
Standard error = standard deviation / sqrt( sample size) 
 standard deviation = 0.75 hours
 sample size = 35
 Hence, Standard error = 0.75 /sqrt(35) = 0.126 = 0.13

Answer 2

0.75/sqrt=.125 then rounding it to 0.13
