When sampling with replacement, we can expect that the population size will remain the same. Sampling with replacement occurs when a unit or subject for research is chosen from a population at random. This chosen unit can be returned to the population and another random selection done with the possibility that a unit that was chosen before could be chosen again. So in applying this system of selection, the population size is not taken into consideration. When samples are chosen in this form, it can be referred to as a simple random sample.
So, when determining the sample size necessary for estimating the true population mean, using the sampling with replacement method, the population size is not considered.
