What is standard electrode potential?

Based on the given data,which is the strongest oxidizing agent? $E_{Li^+|Li}^o = -3.03 \ V$,$E_{Ba^{2+}|Ba}^o = -2.73 \ V$,$E_{Na^+|Na}^o = -2.71 \ V$,and $E_{Mg^{2+}|Mg}^o = -2.37 \ V$.

$2H^{+} \, (aq) + 2e^- \to H_2 \, (g)$. The standard electrode potential for the above reaction is (in volts):

On the basis of the following $E^o$ values,the strongest oxidizing agent is:
$[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-} \to [Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} + e^-; E^o = -0.35 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+} + e^-; E^o = -0.77 \ V$

The standard electrode potential $(E^{\circ})$ values of $Al^{3+}/Al, Ag^{+}/Ag, K^{+}/K$ and $Cr^{3+}/Cr$ are $-1.66 \ V, 0.80 \ V, -2.93 \ V$ and $-0.74 \ V,$ respectively. The correct decreasing order of reducing power of the metal is:
