1. Given that X ~ N(300, 15), we survey 20 at a time and are interested in the distribution of X-bar. As the number of data values averaged together gets larger, what happens to the standard error of the mean (the standard deviation of X-bar)?

a. It becomes larger.
b. It becomes smaller.
c. It approaches the average of X-bar.
d. It approaches the standard deviation of X.
