Display Descriptive StatisticsDispersion - Standard Error of the Mean (SE Mean) |
The standard error of the mean (SE Mean) is not often used as a descriptive statistic, but it is important in hypothesis testing. It is an estimate of the dispersion that you would observe in the distribution of sample means, if you continued to take samples of the same size from the population.
The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation divided by.
