When obtaining a confidence interval for a population mean in the case of a finite population of size N and a sample size n which is greater than 0.05N, the margin of error is multiplied by the following finite population correction factor:   Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean of 200 weights if a sample of 39 of those weights yields a mean of 146.7 lb and a standard deviation of 26.8 lb.
