As the sample size increases and if the sample std. deviation remains the same, the standard error of the mean will ________?
--------
Standard Error = z* sigma/sqrtn
Standard Error and n are inversely related.
As sample size increases Standard Error will decrease.
Think of it this way. As the size of the sample approaches
the size of the population your misconceptions about the
population decrease.
