Systematic Sampling
Solution:
The population size 𝑁 = 175, and sampling interval 𝑘 = 7. They use linear systematic
sampling for the selection. Let the random number 𝑟 selected from 1 𝑡𝑜 𝑘(= 7) 𝑏𝑒 6.
𝑁 ∗ 𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 ± 2 ∗ √𝑉(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 ) ∗ 𝑁
[ 1624.161, 2295.839 ]
Solution:
The population size 𝑁 = 192, and sampling interval 𝑘 = 8. They use linear systematic
sampling for the selection.
The estimate of the average per day is the sample mean which is 𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 = ∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝑦𝑖 = 100 + ⋯ … +
140 = 110
The estimate of variance from equation (6.5) for random population is 𝑉(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 )= 14.34556
Using the estimate of the average per day and the estimate of its variance, we now calculate the
confidence interval for population total
𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 ± 2 ∗ √𝑉(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 )

Exercise :Assume the data that we have from 100 observations as follows and consider the
simple random sampling without replacement (SRS) with 𝑛 = 20.

Compute
1. the population mean and variance.
2. Perform all 1-in-5 systematic samples (LS).
3. Compute their means.
4. Compute their variances.
5. Compute all systematic sample mean.
6. Verify that systemic mean is unbiased estimator of the population mean.
7. Compute the variance of the systematic sample mean 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 )
8. Compute the variance of the SRS mean 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅) with 𝑛 = 20.
9. Find the relative efficiency of the variance of the simple random mean, 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅), and
the variance of the systematic mean, 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 ).
Solution:
1. The population mean is 𝑌̅ = 20.69, the population variance is 𝑉(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 )= 120.9635
2. The population size 𝑁 = 100, and sampling interval 𝑘 = 5. We use linear systematic
sampling for the selection. Let the random number 𝑟 selected from 1 𝑡𝑜 𝑘(= 5). Each
sample has a size of (n=20). The R codes is attached for sampling.
3. The systematic means for all samples are
20.25, 22.55, 20.80, 18.10, 21.75
4. The variances of the sample means are
158.7237 ,93.1026, 119.8526, 115.8842, 130.6184
5. The all systematic sample mean 𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 = ∑𝑘𝑟=1 𝑦̅𝑟 = 20.25 + ⋯ + 21.75 = 20.69
6. From answer 5, the all systematic sample mean is equal to the population mean, therefore
it’s unbiased estimator.
7. The estimate of variance from equation (6.2) is 𝑉(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 )= 2.2994
8. For simple random sampling without replacement with 𝑛 = 20 and from equation 3.9,
𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅) = 4.8385
9. The relative efficiency of the variance of the simple random mean, 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅), and
the variance of the systematic mean, 𝑉𝑎𝑟(𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 ) is = 210.4263 which it shows that the
systematic sampling estimator 𝑦̅𝑠𝑦𝑠 for the given population, is 21.0426 times more efficient
than the one based on SRS
