Explanation / Answer

22.

Mean =493

Standard error = 112/sqrt(36) =18.6667

25

Mean =493

For sample size 24, Standard error = 112/sqrt(24) =22.8619

For sample size 36, Standard error = 112/sqrt(36) =18.6667

Sample mean remains the same. ( or tends to population mean)

When sample size increases, the standard error decreases.
