Question:
See the description of the MMPI-2 in the previous exercise. The mean T score is always 50, and the standard deviation is always 10. Imagine that you administer the MMPI-2 to 50 respondents who do not use Instagram or any other social media; you wonder whether their scores on the social introversion scale will be, on average, higher than the norms. You find a mean score on the social introversion scale of 60 in your sample.
a. Using symbolic notation, report the mean and standard deviation of the population.
b. Using symbolic notation and formulas (where appropriate), report the mean and standard error for the distribution of means to which your sample will be compared.
c. In your own words, explain why it makes sense that the standard error is smaller than the standard deviation.
