Question

 

Happy Sunday! I asked you all to answer the question below and you did.  Can you tell me why in Step #1 "N" is 30 and not 60?  I thought to get the standard error you divide the standard deviation of the population/ the square root of the sample size.  Which in this case seems to be 60.  You got the same answer as the book.  I don't understand why you used 30.  Thank you!
