Answer:

The standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean, for a sample, σₓ is related to the standard deviation, σ, through the relation

σₓ = σ/(√n)

n = sample size = 100

σₓ = σ/(√100)

σₓ = (σ/10) = 0.1σ

Hence, the standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)
