The standard error of the mean serves as a special type of standard deviation. Describe about it.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Standard error:

Standard error is a measure which explains how accurate are the sample means to compare with the population mean. Standard error explains the variability in the sample means. The standard error of a statistic (an estimate of a parameter) is the standard deviation of its sampling distribution or an estimate of that standard deviation. If the parameter or the statistic is the mean, it is called standard error of the mean.
