| robkaz | I thought standard error was sigma divided by square root of n? | 
| sally | The standard error of a statistic is the  standard deviation of the sampling distribution of that statistic. In this case,  the statistic is x-bar1 - x-bar2. What you refered to, robkaz, is the standard error of the mean.  |
