Answer to Question #174098 in Statistics and Probability for Denisse Bisuña

Question

Find the finite population correction factor given the following:

1. N=200, n=10

2. N=2000, n=10

3. N=400, n=40

4. N=500, n=10

5. N=200, n=20

Answer 1

$FPC=\sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1}}.$

1. $FPC=\sqrt{\frac{200-10}{200-1}}=0.9771.$
2. $FPC=\sqrt{\frac{2000-10}{2000-1}}=0.9977.$
3. $FPC=\sqrt{\frac{400-40}{400-1}}=0.8494.$
4. $FPC=\sqrt{\frac{500-10}{500-1}}=0.9909.$
5. $FPC=\sqrt{\frac{200-20}{200-1}}=0.9511.$
