Example 1
Imagine the example population of \(N=30\) elements be subdivided into three strata as in figure 1. 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 \(N_h\,\) \(n_h\,\) \(\mu_h\,\) \(\sigma_h^2\,\) 1 14 4 6.29 3.49 2 8 3 10.13 4.86 3 8 3 5.38 2.48
