a sample with a standard deviation of 14 and a sample size of 6.2

a sample with a standard deviation of 53 and a sample size of 25
a sample with a standard deviation of 53 and a sample size of 25

a sample with a standard deviation of 12 and a sample size of 8

Answer 1

It would depend on the population mean and the actual values in each sample. However, all other factors being equal, a sample with a larger sample size would typically have a mean closer to the population mean. Therefore, the sample with a standard deviation of 53 and a sample size of 25 would likely have the mean closest to the population mean.
