Question 3:
A sample of size 30 students is to be drawn from a population consisting of 300 students belonging to two colleges A and B. the mean and standard deviations of their marks are given below:

Strata.       | Total student |   mean | sd.
College A |    200.                 |   30      |    10
College B. | 100                    |    60    |     40
Total         |     300                  |    90     |     50

Q1)How would you draw the sample using proportional allocation techniques? Hence, obtain the variance of the estimate of the population mean and compare its efficiency with simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR).

Q2) Variance of the estimate of the population mean for simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR).

Q3) Variance of the estimate of the population mean for proportional allocation

Q4) 95% confidence interval of the population mean for proportional allocation.
