2Standard error (statistics) — For a value that is sampled with an unbiased normally distributed error, the above depicts the proportion of samples that would fall between 0, 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations above and below the actual value. The standard error is the standard… …
3Standard Error — The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a statistic. Standard error is a statistical term that measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population. In statistics, a sample mean deviates from the actual mean of a… …

5standard error — noun Date: 1897 the standard deviation of the probability function or probability density function of a random variable and especially of a statistic; specifically the standard error of the mean of a sample from a population with a normal… …
6standard error — (of a mean) the extent to which the means of several different samples would vary if they were taken repeatedly from the same population. Differences between means are said to have statistical significance when they are greater than twice the… …
7standard error of the mean — an indication of how well a sample mean estimates the population mean by measurement of the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of the means. It is approximately equal to where s is the sample estimate of the standard deviation and n is …
