can someone tell me which formula is correct? n-1 or n? I know there are quite a few thread on this already but I didn't get any conclusive answer from the those threads.
 
It is n-1 but it depends on the degree of freedom, once you the population is big enough you can do "n" instead of "n-1."
Someone confirm?
 
I orginally thought it was n-1. but most practice test use N and wikipedia uses N too.
