Two-Stage Cluster Sampling
Exercise Questions
 11.8: A project has been undertaken to study the feeding and rearing
practices of sheep in Rajasthan state of India. As a first step, a survey was
conducted to estimate the total sheep population in the state. For this
purpose, a WOR simple random sample of 12 development blocks, from a
total of 200 blocks, was selected. About 3 percent of the villages in the
sample blocks were chosen using same sampling scheme. The following table
presents the number of sheep in the selected villages along with the total
number of villages (M) and the number of selected villages (m), in the sample
blocks.

Block Number of sheep
1 160 5 141 376 267 201 55
2 130 4 60 228 270 80
3 128 4 177 95 265 301
4 114 3 225 107 119
5 70 2 80 101
6 105 3 201 69 134
7 89 3 135 240 405
8 71 2 309 111
9 97 3 250 280 170
10 106 3 96 269 118
11 128 4 314 246 107 80
12 69 2 307 286

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.
Center Number of neem trees
1 30 3 40 61 76
2 44 4 88 25 49 33
3 56 6 75 32 56 44 37 55
4 36 4 42 25 34 39
5 27 3 34 47 29
6 51 5 55 43 61 40 36
7 42 4 27 42 36 58
8 30 3 60 46 39
9 28 3 51 37 42
10 33 3 64 34 56

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)
