Using the finite population correction (fpc)for sampling distributions of finite populations, the corrected standard error is larger giving more precise estimates.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The finite population correction (fpc) adjusts for the fact that the standard error is slightly overestimated when sampling from a finite population. Applying the fpc reduces the standard error and provides more precise estimates, not larger as stated in the question.
