Standard error of the mean =σn=650≈0.85=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{50}}\approx 0.85.

In the TN HSC Class-12 statistical-inference topic, the standard error (S.E.) of the sample mean is computed from the population standard deviation σ\sigma, not the sample value.

Given: n=50n=50, population σ=6\sigma=6 (the sample SD 6.36.3 is extra information not needed for the S.E. of the mean based on the known population σ\sigma).
