I would like to get more clarity about a specific case when I need to use of standard error of mean (SEM) or standard deviation (SD):
Case # 1: Experiment involving triplicate data points with one replicate (not a repeat experiment, three data points).
Case # 2: Experiment involving triplicate data points with two replicate (a repeat experiment, total six data points).
Case # 2 is just a repetition of experiment in case # 1.
If I am presenting data separately for case # 1 versus case # 1 and 2 combined, which one I have to use, SEM or SD for these two analysis?
Appreciated your response.
