Chapter 5Stratified Random Sampling • Advantages of stratified random sampling • How to select stratified random sample • Estimating population mean and total • Determining sample size, allocation • Estimating population proportion; sample size and allocation • Optimal rule for choosing strata
Stratified Random Sampling • The ultimate function of stratification is to organize the population into homogeneous subsets and to select a SRS of the appropriate size from each stratum.
Stratified Random Sampling • Often-used option • May produce smaller BOE than SRS of same size • Cost per observation may be reduced • Obtain estimates of population parameters for subgroups • Useful when the population is heterogeneous and it is possible to establish strata which are reasonably homogeneous within each stratum

Stratified Random Sampling: BOEfor Mean and Total , t distribution • When stratum sample sizes are small, can use t dist.
Compare BOE in Stratified Random Sample and SRS (worksheet cont.) Strat. random sample has more precision
5.5 Allocation of the Sample • Objective: obtain estimators with small variance at lowest cost. • Allocation affected by 3 factors: • Total number of elements in each stratum • Variability in each stratum • Cost per observation in each stratum
5.5 Allocation of the Sample: Proportional Allocation • If don’t have variability and cost information for the strata, can use proportional allocation. In general this is not the optimum choice for the stratum sample sizes.
