Question

The standard error = _______. (s is the standard deviation of the sample, N is the population size, and n is the sample size. N >20n)

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

s//n

The formula for standard error is s/√n. However, since N > 20n, the population size is significantly larger than the sample size. Therefore, the standard error can be approximated as s/n.
