What is the relationship between sample size, sample standard deviation, and standard error?
-----
Sample standard deviation = sigma/sqrt(n)
As that "n" increases the fraction decreases, so standard deviation decreases.
------------------------------
Standard error = z
As "n" increases, the fraction decreases, so standard error decreases.
