The data are summarized below Adults(1) Children(2) Find the standard error of the estimate for the diference in mean comfortable room temperatures between adults Sample Mean 77.5° F 74.5° F Sample Variance 4.5 2.5 and children.

Explanation / Answer

Variance1 = 4.5 , variance 2 = 2.5
Std.deviation1 = 2.12 , std.deviation 2 = 1.58 , n1 = n2 = 10

Standard error = sqrt(s1^2/n1 + s2^2/n2)
= sqrt( 2.12^2/10 + 1.58^2/10)
= 0.8367

Answer is option D)
