Standard Error of the Mean
The standard error of the mean is a measure of how reliable the mean of a sample (X) is
as an estimator of the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn.
To calculate the standard error of the mean:
1.
Press
fCLEARH.
2.
If you are summing one set of numbers, key in the first number and press
_.
Continue until you have entered all of the values.
3.
If you are summing two sets of numbers, key in the y-value and press
\(³), key
in the x-value and press
_. Continue until you have entered all of the values.
4.
Press
gÖ to obtain the mean of the x-values.
RPN Mode:
5.
Press
gv:1grz to obtain the standard error of the mean of the x-values.
6.
Alternatively, press
gv~:1grz to obtain the standard error for the
mean of the y-values.
