Probability and statistics questions reward correct model selection more than long computation. Learn to distinguish descriptive statistics, common distributions, confidence intervals, and simple regression setups from the wording of the stem.
6 original probability and statistics problems are published here in full, each with the governing model, a step-by-step solution, a unit check, and a note on why every other answer choice is wrong.
The standard error of the mean measures how much a sample average would bounce around if you repeated the sampling, and it is the bridge between a set of measurements and a confidence interval. It is the sample standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size, and the square root is the entire point.
