The random error in the arithmetic mean of $100$ observations is $x$; then random error in the arithmetic mean of $400$ observations would be
A
$4x$
B
$\frac{1}{4}x$
C
$2x$
D
$\frac{1}{2}x$
Solution
Random error in $100$ observations $=x$
Random error in $400$ obsrvation $= ?$
If observation is increased by '$n$' times then random error decreases by $\frac{1}{ n }$ times therefore random error $=\frac{x}{4}$
Hence, the answer is $\frac{x}{4}$.
