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. What do you notice?

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

A goat is tethered to a stake in the ground with a 5-m rope. The goat can graze to the full length of the rope a full 360 degree
Nina [5.8K]
The length of the rope in this case becomes the radius of the circle that the goat is able to graze. The area of the circle is calculated through the equation,
                            A = πr²
Substituting,
                              A = π(5m)² = 78.54 m²
Thus, the area that the goat is able to graze is equal to 78.54 m².

Express<br><br> 2x^2+3x/(2x+3)(x-2) - 6/x^2-x-2 <br><br> As a single fraction in its simplest form.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

(x + 3)/(x + 1) .

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x/(2x + 3)(x - 2) - 6 /x^2 - x - 2

= 2x^2 + 3x/(2x + 3)(x - 2) - 6 / (x - 2)(x + 1)

The LCM is (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1) so we have

(2x^2 + 3x)(x + 1) - 6(2x + 3)          x( 2x + 3)(x + 1) - 6(2x + 3)

--------------------------------------- =        ------------------------------------

    (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)                         (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)


       (2x + 3)(x(x + 1) - 6)           (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 3)

=    ----------------------------  =       ---------------------------     =  (x + 3)/(x + 1)

     (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)             (2x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 1)
