Hello,

who knows an answer to the following question?
Let's assume that I take a sample of e.g. 100 people. I ask them a
question and, e.g. 50% say "yes". I construct a 90%-confidence interval
and get a standard error of 11.6. Fine.

However, this assumes that the population size is unlimited.
If the population was 100, then I would not have any standard error.
However, what if the population size is 200? How do I construct a
confidence interval then?

Anybody with an idea?

Thanks in advance

Nils Riemenschneider
