Example 1

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.

Table 1

Stratum parameters for the stratified example population.

Stratum \(N_h\) \(n_h\) \(\mu_h\) \(\rho_h^2\)
1 14 4 6.29 3.49
2 8 3 10.13 4.86
3 8 3 5.38 2.48
