Dear R User,

I have a data with a mean and Standard Error (SE) but no sample size, I am wondering whether I can compute the standard deviation (SD) with these information. if possible, how much would be for the given example?
Thanks,

Hi Kristi,
Multiply the standard error by the square root of the sample size.

Dear Kristi

You will doubtless soon receive a reply telling you this is a 
statistical question and off-topic here but in the meantime, do you have 
any other information like a value of a test statistic or a p-value? 
Sometimes they can be used.

And please set your mailer to send plain text not HTML as it scrambles
