Standard Error

A question came up at the review session about standard error, specifically if it can exceed one. If it can, you would need a zero in the ones place should there not be another number there.

After looking around and consulting with a fellow TA (thanks Ann!), let it be known that it is possible for standard error to exceed one.

One cautionary note, though: just because it is possible for standard error to exceed one, does not mean that it is possible for every variable's standard error to exceed one. Know what your variable is before deciding whether or not it can exceed one. (Think back to your factorial homework where the DV was body fat index, which was a proportion, which could not exceed one. Therefore, your standard deviation could not exceed one, and you should not have had a zero in the one's place.)
