finite population correction factor of the standard error

[CornelisRemmert]

In "7.1 Population vs. Sample" you mention that the variance of a sample mean in finite populations should be multiplied by the finite population correction factor of the standard error:

If we want to correct for the variance of a sample mean, shouldn't the square root be removed from the finite population correction factor?

[Lakens]

Thanks for spotting this: Ifixed the text to state that the finite population correction factor applies to the standard error (SE) of the mean (while keeping (FPC=\sqrt{(N-n)/(N-1)})), which resolves the variance-vs-SE mismatch.
