a sample of 100 people is taken at random and their blood pressure is noted..a standard deviation,standard error and 95 percent confidence interval is obtained..if another sample of 25 people is taken at random then what will be the changes in standard error(increase-decrease or no change) and also what will be the change in 95 percent confidance interval(increase-decrease or no change)..

agree with drpp, S.E.M inc. as sample size decreases along with wider confidence interval
