That doesn't make sense given what is being compared (sample to a population). I am assuming it meant to say "standard error." This is a stats Web site so I think it should try to be more precise in using the proper terminology. When it can't get even basic terms correct it makes me question the quality (and accuracy) of the analysis. The article says “standard deviation” in two different places.
