Problem On Stratified Sampling

The document outlines a proportional stratified sampling method for selecting lecturers, readers, and professors based on their length of service. A total sample size of 830 is derived from the university's population, with specific ratios for each category and length of service. The final selection results in 415 lecturers, 250 readers, and 166 professors across different service lengths.

llustration 1: Youare given the following data of the number of lecturers, readers and professors in a

Length of service Lecturers Readers Professors Total


University
Less than 5 yrs. 2,000 250 50 2.300
5-10yrs. 3,000 220 80 3,300
10-15 yrs. 1,500 170 30 1,700
15 yrs or More 880 80 40 1,000
Total 7,380 720 200 8,300

Work out how many lecturers, readers and professors would be selected from each category if () we foaloy
proportionatal stratified sampling method and take 10% of the universe equivalent to the sample size. (i) fthe sze
of the sample is 10% of the universe but the lecturers, readers and professors are to be in the ratio of 5:3:2 and
weightage of the length of service is to be inthe ratio of 4:3:2:1.
Solution:
() The sample size is 10% of the universe hence 830persons would be
selected in the sample.
formed and we want to follow proportional stratified sampling method, we will take 10% from Since
12 strata
each stratum T
number of persons selected shall be as follows:
Length of service Lecturers Readers Professors Total
Less than 5 yrs. 200 25 5 230

5-10 yrs. 300 22 8 330

10-15 yrs. 150 17 3 170

15 yrs or More 88 8 4 100

Total 738 72 20 830


() in the second case also, the size of sample is 830but the lecturers, readers and professors are to be in the ratio of
830x 5
5:3:2 of the sample, i.e., we take 415 lecturers: 830 x 3 = 249 readers, and 830x2 =166 professors.
10 10 10
Since the weightage to length of service is 4:3:2:1, the number selected from each category will be as given in
the table below:
