CLUSTER SAMPLING WITH ESTIMATION Suppose a population of size N is divided into K- N/M groups of size M. We select a sample of size n -km the following way: » First we select k groups out of K groups by simple random sampling . We then select m units in each group selected on the first step by simple random sampling . The estimate of the population mean is the average Y of the sample. Let μί be the...
