If I took the square root of this measure of variability, it tells me how much the data points tend to vary around the mean.

Hint: give the name of measure of variability I am taking the square root of.

variance

300

Assuming normally distributed data, what is the percentage of scores that fall between -1SD and +1SD around the mean?

68%

300

The t-test statistic for which type of t-test has a denominator that uses the estimated standard error?
