There is a brief table in Mario Triola's Elementary Statistics text. In the 9th edition it is on pages 354 - 355 with an example.
The sample variance is considered an unbiased estimator of the population variance because it corrects for the bias introduced by estimating the population variance from a sample. When calculating the sample variance, we use ( n-1 ) (where ( n ) is the sample size) instead of ( n ) in the denominator, which compensates for the degree of freedom lost when estimating the population mean from the sample. This adjustment ensures that the expected value of the sample variance equals the true population variance, making it an unbiased estimator.
that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
In statistics, "n-1" refers to the degrees of freedom used in the calculation of sample variance and sample standard deviation. When estimating variance from a sample rather than a whole population, we divide by n-1 (the sample size minus one) instead of n to account for the fact that we are using a sample to estimate a population parameter. This adjustment corrects for bias, making the sample variance an unbiased estimator of the population variance. It is known as Bessel's correction.
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.
The sample variance (s²) is calculated using the formula ( s² = \frac{SS}{n - 1} ), where SS is the sum of squares and n is the sample size. For a sample size of n = 9 and SS = 72, the sample variance is ( s² = \frac{72}{9 - 1} = \frac{72}{8} = 9 ). The estimated standard error (SE) is the square root of the sample variance divided by the sample size, calculated as ( SE = \sqrt{\frac{s²}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{9}} = 1 ). Thus, the sample variance is 9 and the estimated standard error is 1.
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.

no
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.
df within
Yes it is.
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.
A small sample size and a large sample variance.
The larger your sample size, the less variance there will be. For instance, your information is going to be much more substantial if you took 1000 samples over 10 samples.
