Q# 11.6
(Note that; Every student should change any six values in data set then calculate
mean estimator.) after midterm
Using estimator Ym2, estimate the total number of sheep in the state. Also work
out the standard error of the estimate, and construct the confidence interval for
this total. The total number of villages in the state is 24000.
11.8: Given that N=200, n=12, Mo=24000
Q#11.9 and 11.10 solved for the Total Estimator
Also place confidence limits on this total. As follows
11.10: Soap factory is planning to use neem oil in manufacturing a new brand of
toilet soap. For extracting oil, the neem seeds are to be collected at 100 centers
established for the purpose. It is felt that the persons from villages falling within
a radius of 20km of a neem seed collection center will find it remunerative to
sell neem seeds to the collection centers. For getting an idea about the neem
seed supply position the factory wants to estimate the total number of neem
trees in the procurement area for all the hundred collection centers. For this
purpose SRS without replacement sample of 10 centers was selected. Using same
sampling procedure about 10 percent of villages falling within the 20km radius of
the sample centers were selected villages are given below along with the values
of Mi and mi.

Estimate the total number of neem trees falling in the procurement area for
all the 100 centers by using an appropriate estimator. Also place confidence
limits on this total. (Class Work)
