Question:

In an experiment on soybean varieties, individually potted soybean plants were grown in a greenhouse, with 10 plants of each variety used in the experiment. From the harvest of each plant, five seeds were chosen at random and individually analyzed for their percentage of oil. This gave a total of 50 measurements for each variety. To calculate the standard error of the mean for a variety, the experimenter calculated the standard deviation of the 50 observations and divided by √50. Why would this calculation be of doubtful validity?
