Answer: The standard error of the mean = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Sample size : n = 144
Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma=6\text{ hours}[/tex]
The formula to find the standard error of the mean is given by :-
[tex]S.E.=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
i.e. [tex]S.E.=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{144}}=0.5[/tex]
Hence, the standard error of the mean =0.5
