Can you find standard error without standard deviation?
No, the standard deviation (SD) will always be larger than the standard error (SE). This is because the standard error divides the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. If the sample size is one, they will be the same, but a sample size of one is rarely useful.
How do you calculate sampling error?
Calculating Sampling Error
The sampling error is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the population by the square root of the size of the sample, and then multiplying the resultant with the Z-score value, which is based on the confidence interval.
How do you find the standard error of the mean when the standard deviation is unknown?
In the current situation the standard error of ˉX is σ/√n, where σ is the standard deviation of the population. However, if σ is unknown and estimated by the sample standard deviation S=√1n−1∑ni=1(Xi−ˉX)2, then T=ˉX=μS/√n has Student's t distribution with ν=n−1 degrees of freedom, T(ν).
