proportion of samples that would fall between 0, 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations above and below the actual value. The standard error (SE) is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic,[1] most commonly error on the mean and standard deviation of the mean. The term may also be used to refer to an estimate percent error mean of that standard deviation, derived from a particular sample used to compute the estimate. For example, the sample mean is the usual
Error Median
estimator of a population mean. However, different samples drawn from that same population would in general have different values of the sample mean, so there is a distribution of sampled means (with its own mean

and variance). The standard error of the mean (SEM) (i.e., of using the sample mean as a method of estimating the population mean) is the standard deviation of those sample means over all possible samples (of a given size) drawn from the population. Secondly, the standard error of the mean can refer to an estimate of that standard deviation, computed from the sample of data being analyzed at the time. In regression error range analysis, the term "standard error" is also used in the phrase standard error of the regression to mean the ordinary least squares estimate of the standard deviation of the underlying errors.[2][3] Contents 1 Introduction to the standard error 1.1 Standard error of the mean 1.1.1 Sampling from a distribution with a large standard deviation 1.1.2 Sampling from a distribution with a small standard deviation 1.1.3 Larger sample sizes give smaller standard errors 1.1.4 Using a sample to estimate the standard error 2 Standard error of the mean 3 Student approximation when σ value is unknown 4 Assumptions and usage 4.1 Standard error of mean versus standard deviation 5 Correction for finite population 6 Correction for correlation in the sample 7 Relative standard error 8 See also 9 References Introduction to the standard error[edit] The standard error is a quantitative measure of uncertainty. Consider the following scenarios. Scenario 1. For an upcoming national election, 2000 voters are chosen at random and asked if they will vote for candidate A or candidate B. Of the 2000 voters, 1040 (52%) state that they will vote for candidate A. The researchers report that candidate A is expected to receive 52% of the final vote, with a margin of error of 2%. In this scenario, the 2000 voters a

It doesn't have to be crazy, it could be a nice normal distribution. But to really make the point that you don't have to have a normal distribution I like to use crazy ones. So let's say y
