When sampling without replacement from a finite population of size N, the following formula is used to find the standard deviati

on of the population of sample means: σ = However, when the sample size n, is smaller than 5% of the population size, N, the finite population correction factor, , can be omitted. Explain in your own words why this is reasonable. For N = 200, find the values of the finite population correction factor when the sample size is 10%, 5%, 3%, 1% of the population, respectively.

Answer:

Check below for the required explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

The population correction factor is given by the formula :

PCF = [(N-n)/(N-1)]^1/2..........(1)

a) When the sample size is smaller than 5% of N. That is n < 0.05N

If n = 0.05N is substituted into the PCF formula, PCF will be approximately 1.

For a value of 1, PCF can be safely ignored.

b) N = 200

i) n = 10% N

n = 0.1 × 200 = 20

Substitute n = 20 into equation (1)

PCF = (200-20)/(200-1)]^1/2

PCF = 0.95

ii) n = 5% N

n = 0.05× 200 = 10

Substitute n = 20 into equation (1)

PCF = (200-10)/(200-1)]^1/2

PCF = 0.98

iii) i) n = 3% N

n = 0.03 × 200 = 6

Substitute n = 20 into equation (1)

PCF = (200-6)/(200-1)]^1/2

PCF = 0.99

iiii) n = 1% N

n = 0.01 × 200 = 2

Substitute n = 20 into equation (1)

PCF = (200-2)/(200-1)]^1/2

PCF = 0.998(approx. =1)

It is noticed that the smaller the sample size, the closer the population correction factor to unity. At 1% of the population, the population correction factor is negligible

An $42 item was marked down by 50%<br><br> what is the new cost of the item?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

New Cost of item is \$ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item = \$ 42

Item was marked down by 50\%

To Calculate Cost after 50\% marked  down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after  marked down = \frac{42 \times 50}{100}= \$21

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after 50\% marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item =  \$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21

4/(1+3) or \frac{4}{1+3}

Addition is the first step for two reasons.
1) the Order of Operations requires you do operations in parentheses first
2) the division cannot be performed until you know what you're dividing
