that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
In general the mean of a truly random sample is not dependent on the size of a sample. By inference, then, so is the variance and the standard deviation.
no
A random sample of size 36 is taken from a normal population with a known variance If the mean of the sample is 42.6. Find the left confidence limit for the population mean.
Yes it is.
The answer depends on the underlying variance (standard deviation) in the population, the size of the sample and the procedure used to select the sample.

The sample variance is 1.

You have not defined M, but I will consider it is a statistic of the sample. For an random sample, the expected value of a statistic, will be a closer approximation to the parameter value of the population as the sample size increases. In more mathematical language, the measures of dispersion (standard deviation or variance) from the calculated statistic are expected to decrease as the sample size increases.

You are testing the difference between two means of independent sample and the population variance are not known. from those population you take two samples of two different size n1and n2. what degrees of freedom is appropriate to consider in this case
A small sample size and a large sample variance.
