Standard Error Calculator

Calculate the standard error for means, proportions, or differences

About Standard Error

Standard error measures the precision of a sample statistic as an estimate of a population parameter.

Formulas:

  • SE of Mean: SE = s / √n
  • SE of Proportion: SE = √(p(1-p)/n)
  • SE of Difference: SE = s × √(1/n₁ + 1/n₂)

Smaller SE indicates more precise estimates. SE decreases as sample size increases.
