SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on calculating the standard error for varying sample sizes, specifically addressing the differences between large and small samples. It confirms that there are multiple estimators of standard deviation that exhibit different properties when applied to small samples. The discussion references the Wikipedia page on standard deviation for further details on estimating population standard deviation from sample standard deviation.
