Finite Population Multiplier

Find the Standard Error using the Finite Population Multiplier for the following data:
N=140
n=56
mean=59.5
s=15

  1. Use the formula:
    se = (s/√n) x √(N-n/N-1)

    se = 15/√59.5 x (√(140-56)/139)

    se = 1.512

  3. Hey Grant,

    I'm just the answer Nazi. You divided by the mean (59.5), not the sample population (56) to find the sample error, so your answer is slightly off. I think it should be

    se= 15/√56(√[(140-56)/139)

    = 1.558

    I think...correct me if I am wrong
