Sampling Sta414
• (a.) Obtain the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of size
2.
• (b.) Make some observations about sampling error when the mean height of
a random sample of two players is used to estimate the population mean
height.

Finite Population Correction
Factor
• The formula for the standard error of the mean is accurate when the samples are
drawn with replacement Or are drawn without replacement from a very large or
infinite population.
• Since sampling with replacement is for the most part unrealistic, a correction
factor is necessary for computing the standard error of the mean for samples drawn
without replacement from a finite population.
