-----
For a given level of confidence standard error is zo*std/(sqrt(n))
The confidence level determines the size of zo.
----
Since level of confidence (zo) is in the numerator and "n" is in
the denominator you see that confidence and sample size are directly
related (as one rises the other rises and vice versa).
