Use the following information for questions 1-3:

In a cohort study of breast cancer in older women, there are two groups, those who were exposed to a known carcinogen and those who were not.

In the exposed group, the mean systolic blood pressure was 100 mm Hg, with a standard deviation of 8 mm Hg. There were 169 men in the exposed group. What is the standard error of the mean systolic blood pressure?
Answer: 

Standard error = Standard deviation / sqrt(N)

= 8 / sqrt(169)

= 8/13 = 0.615
