Essay

Given the results for possible magnitudes of the finite population correction factor,for samples of n =15 observations from populations of N = 15,30,60,100,500,1,000,5,000,and 10,000 members,discuss the practical significance of using the finite population correction factor for samples of 20 observations from populations of different sizes.
