Standard deviation of Sample mean or Standard error:
S E = σ x ¯ = σ n
As we see, the standard error decreases if either population standard deviation is small ( σ), or sample size is large (n). In general, we have no control over σ , so to decrease standard error, we need to increase the sample size (n)
