- TL;DR Summary
- Filled in all the equations for standard error in redshift (standard error formula, standard deviation formula, mean formula), would like to simplify it, too complicated otherwise thanks in advance :)
SE = standard error, expressed as sigma(x)
n = number of observations we take into account (from a total population) when calculating the standard error
sigma-index-x = standard deviation
N = total population
x-index-i = element of that population
mu = mean of the population
-> filled in all the equations and replaced x by z (redshift) to determine the standard error in z (sigma(z))
-> as you can see, last equation is way too complicated, can anyone help me simplify it?
PS. In the finale expression, x-index-i should be substituted with z-index-i
