Suppose that Joe is sampling the weight of fish in my pond and he knows that the sample mean for samples of size 16 has variance  9 in case he uses independent random sampling (catch and release), but he wishes to use simple random sampling.  If there are only 25 fish in the pond, then what is the variance of the sample mean with simple random sampling (sampling without replacement) for samples os size 16?
