[SOLVED] Standard error
A student determined the following values for the wave speed; calculate the average value of the wave speed and its standard error
50.8, 50.6, 51.8, 52.0, 50.9, 51.6, 51.3, 51.5
avg wave speed = 51.3
how do i get the standard error? the answer is (51.3+/-0.2)
i am aware that Se = standard deviation / sqrt(number of data)
but I'm not sure how to get standard deviation.
any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
