The sample standard deviation (s) divided by the square root of the number of observations in the sample (n).
Standard error of the sample mean is calculated dividing the the sample estimate of population standard deviation ("sample standard deviation") by the square root of sample size.
The standard error of the underlying distribution, the method of selecting the sample from which the mean is derived, the size of the sample.
The standard error increases.
The standard error of the mean and sampling error are two similar but still very different things. In order to find some statistical information about a group that is extremely large, you are often only able to look into a small group called a sample. In order to gain some insight into the reliability of your sample, you have to look at its standard deviation. Standard deviation in general tells you spread out or variable your data is. If you have a low standard deviation, that means your data is very close together with little variability. The standard deviation of the mean is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the number of things in the sample. What this essentially tells you is how certain are that your sample accurately describes the entire group. A low standard error of the mean implies a very high accuracy. While the standard error of the mean just gives a sense for how far you are away from a true value, the sampling error gives you the exact value of the error by subtracting the value calculated for the sample from the value for the entire group. However, since it is often hard to find a value for an entire large group, this exact calculation is often impossible, while the standard error of the mean can always be found.
the sample mean is used to derive the significance level.
For a sample of data it is a measure of the spread of the observations about their mean value.

It simply means that you have a sample with a smaller variation than the population itself. In the case of random sample, it is possible.
the sample mean is used to derive the significance level.
Let sigma = standard deviation. Standard error (of the sample mean) = sigma / square root of (n), where n is the sample size. Since you are dividing the standard deviation by a positive number greater than 1, the standard error is always smaller than the standard deviation.
yes
A low standard error indicates that the sample mean is a precise estimate of the population mean, suggesting that the sample data is closely clustered around the sample mean. It implies that there is less variability in the sample means across different samples, leading to more reliable statistical inferences. In essence, a low standard error reflects high confidence in the accuracy of the sample mean as a representation of the population.
The standard deviation of the sample mean is called the standard error. It quantifies the variability of sample means around the population mean and is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the population by the square root of the sample size. The standard error is crucial in inferential statistics for constructing confidence intervals and conducting hypothesis tests.
Standard error (SE) measures the accuracy with which a sample statistic estimates a population parameter. It quantifies the variability of the sample mean from the true population mean, indicating how much the sample mean is expected to fluctuate due to random sampling. A smaller standard error suggests more precise estimates, while a larger standard error indicates greater variability and less reliability in the sample mean. Essentially, SE helps in understanding the precision of sample estimates in relation to the overall population.
