Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-Suppose we wish to construct a confidence interval for a population proportion p. If we sample without replacement from a relatively small population of size N, the margin of error E is modified to include the finite
Population correction factor as follows: E=zα/2p^q^nNnN1E = z _ { \alpha / 2 } \sqrt { \frac { \hat { p}\hat{ q } } { n } } \sqrt { \frac { N - n } { N - 1 } }
