    Mean, standard error of mean



    Bank officials claim that the average amount of money in savings accounts at all branches of the Commerce Bank is $7500, with a standard deviation of $650. Many random samples of size 100 are taken. Find:

    a)the mean of these samples
    b)the standard error of the mean

    a) u= 7500
    o=650
    n=100

    (b) std error of the mean is the std dev divided by the square root of n

    the mean of the samples will be equal to the mean of the population
