Illustration why stratification is most efficient when the strata meansare as different as possible

Imagine the example population of \(N=30\) elements be subdivided into three strata as in the figure on the right. Here, stratification has been done arbitrarily into three strata of size 14, 8 and 8.

From this stratified population, we wish to take a sample of \(n=10\), taking \(n_1=4\) from the first stratum and \(n_2=n_3=3\) from the other two strata. The stratum parametric means and variances are given in Table 1.
