Question:

Technically, we assume that we are obtaining simple random samples from infinite populations when obtaining sampling distributions. If the size of the population is finite, we technically need a finite population correction factor. However, if the sample size is small relative to the size of the population, this factor can be ignored. Explain what an “infinite population” is. What is the finite population correction factor? How small must the sample size be relative to the size of the population so that we can ignore the factor? Finally, explain why the factor can be ignored for such samples.
