To test this at a significance level of 0.05, a random sample of n = 20 students was selected and the following values were observed:26 15 10 4010 20 30 3640 0 5 1020 32 16 1240 36 10 0Based on these sample data, which of the following statements is true?A) The standard error of the sampling distribution is approximately 3.04.
