A recent study investigated whether cell phone users experience separation anxiety when they cannot access their phones. Because blood pressure increases with anxiety, the researchers used systolic blood pressure as an operational measure of anxiety. The experiment involved a random sample of cell phone users that were divided into two groups at random. One group of participants completed a survey while their phones were locked in a cabinet in a separate room and the other group of participants completed the same survey while their phones were nearby. (The survey questions were unrelated to cell phone use.) At the end of the survey, the
A recent study investigated whether cell phone users experience separation anxiety when they cannot access their phones.

(The survey questions were unrelated to cell phone use.) At the end of the survey, the
researchers measured each participant's systolic blood pressure. The same experiment was conducted in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and St. Zotique. The blood pressure data for all participants are attached (see picture). Use these data to answer the following question: compute the estimated standard error of mcp-mncp for the data collected in Montreal. Please answer to 5 decimal places.
