How do I obtain a pooled mean standard error?

Suppose we have each of K people (or groups) which we wish to pool each with variances, $$\mbox{V}_text{k}$$ and mean $$\mbox{m}_text{k}$$ based on a sample of size $$\mbox{n}_text{k}$$.

$$ \mbox{Pooled Variance V = } \frac{\sum_text{k}(n_text{k}-1)V_text{k}}{\sum_text{k}(n_text{k}-1)} $$

$$ Pooled Mean Standard Error = \sqrt{V / \sum_text{k} n_text{k}} $$
