## Quick Answer

Calculate the standard error of the mean (SEM) from a raw data set or known standard deviation and sample size N.

## Definition

A standard error calculator is a statistical utility that computes the standard error of the mean (SEM) using the formula SE = s / √n. It parses raw data sets to calculate sample mean, variance, and standard deviation, or computes the standard error directly from user-provided standard deviation and sample size, including the 95% confidence interval margin of error.

## How to Use

1. **Select inputs method** — Choose whether to enter a list of sample values directly or enter standard deviation and sample size N.
2. **Enter values** — Type or paste your data list, or input the standard deviation and sample size.
3. **Read analysis** — View the standard error, 95% margin of error, and detailed step-by-step calculation steps.
