Step 1 :Given that the standard deviation of the population, denoted as \(\sigma_{X}\), is 15 and the size of the sample, denoted as \(N\), is 36.
Step 2 :We can calculate the standard deviation of the mean, denoted as \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}\), using the formula \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}=\frac{\sigma_{X}}{\sqrt{N}}\).
Step 3 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}=\frac{15}{\sqrt{36}}\).
Step 4 :Solving the equation, we find that \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}=2.5\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: The standard deviation of the mean, \(\sigma_{\bar{X}}\), is \(\boxed{2.5}\).
