For a given value for the sample's standard deviation, increasing the sample size increases the value of the standard error of the mean.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard error of the mean is calculated using the formula SE = SD/sqrt(n), where SD is the sample standard deviation and n is the sample size. Therefore, increasing the sample size (n) decreases the standard error of the mean, assuming the standard deviation (SD) remains constant.
