The authors of the paper short-term health and economic


The authors of the paper "Short-Term Health and Economic Benefits of Smoking Cessation: Low Birth Weight" (Pediatrics [1999]: 1312-1320) investigated the medical cost associated with babies born to mothers who smoke. The paper included estimates of mean medical cost for low-birth-weight babies for different ethnic groups. For a sample of 654 Hispanic low-birth-weight babies, the mean medical cost was $55,007 and the standard error (s/Ïn) was $3011. For a sample of 13 Native American low-birth-weight babies, the mean and standard error were $73,418 and $29,577, respectively. Explain why the two standard errors are so different.
