Answer:

d. 0.133

Step-by-step explanation:

-Standard error is  calculated using the formula:

[tex]E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sigma-=standard \ deviation\\n=sample \ size[/tex]

#We substitute the given values in the formula to solve for E:

[tex]E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=\frac{1.2}{\sqrt{81}}\\\\=0.133[/tex]

Hence, the standard error is 0.133 and the correct option is d
