Abstract:

In practice, the information regarding the population proportion possessing certain attribute is easily available. So for estimating the population mean of study variable y, a family of estimators of has been proposed by using the known information of population proportion possessing an attribute (highly correlated with y). The expressions for the mean square error of the estimators of the proposed family and its minimum value have been obtained. It has been shown that the optimum estimator of the proposed family of estimators of is always better than the mean per unit estimator. The results have also been extended for the case of the double sampling design. The results obtained have been illustrated numerically by taking some empirical populations considered in the literature.
