Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Generally the sample standard error is mathematically represented as


\sigma_(\= x ) = (\sigma )/( √(n) )

Where
\sigma is the standard deviation and n is the sample size

Now looking at the formula we see that


\sigma_(\= x ) \ \ \ \alpha \ \ \ (1)/( √(n) )

So at constant
\sigma if n increases
\sigma_(\= x ) decreases

So from the question if ten more urban homeowners are asked the question the samples standard error decreases
