Answer:

a. SE = 0.403 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean, is the standard deviation of means of means.

It is calculated using,

[tex]SE= \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} } [/tex]

We have the standard deviation to be

[tex] \sigma = 4.864[/tex]

and the sample size is n=146.

We substitute the values to get:

[tex]SE= \frac{4.864}{ \sqrt{146} } [/tex]

[tex]SE= 0.4025[/tex]

We approximate to three decimal places to get:

[tex]SE= 0.403[/tex]
