Determine which of the following four population size and sample size combinations would not require the use of the the finite population correction factor in calculating the standard error.

Question

a. N = 2500; n = 75
b. N = 150; n = 25
c. N = 15,000; n = 1,000
d. N = 1500; n = 300

Answer 1

If your sample is less than 5% of the population, then the population correction factor would not be required.

I'll let you determine which one fits.

Answer 2

c. N=1500; n=300
