Problem: At a large community college, the mean IQ score of the student body is 107 with a standard deviation of 20. Suppose a random sample of size n is selected from the student body, compute the standard error of the mean, σx̅̅ , for samples of size: a) n = 4 b) n = 25 c) n = 400 If you were going to select a random sample from this population of IQ scores, which sample size would give you a better chance of being closer to the population mean IQ score? Explain.
