Multistage Sampling
 With cluster sampling, the smaller the size of the clusters the better is.
When (1) the units are distributed over a larger number of clusters and (2)
instead of completely enumerating all the units in each selected clusters,
only a sample of units is observed.
 For example, in a High School example, the students could be grouped by
grade levels or classes; here grade levels are too large to serve as clusters
for sampling purposes, and classes are the obvious choice.
 The problem with cluster sampling is that, because clusters usually
comprise existing groupings that were formed for other purposes, the
lowest level of clustering still often yields clusters that are too large to be
used efficiently in cluster sampling.
 The solution to this problem is to divide the clusters into sub-clusters for
sampling purposes; essentially this is what is done in multistage sampling.
Two-Stage Cluster Sampling
 ‘The procedure of sampling , which consists in first selecting the clusters
and then randomly choosing a specified number of units from each
selected cluster, is known as two stage sampling

 There are two desirable conditions for selecting appropriate clusters: –


Geographic proximity (Closeness) of the elements within a cluster –
Cluster sizes that are convenient to handle.

 Example: Consider an university student opinion poll. – If the students in


an university hold similar opinions but differ widely from university to
university, the sample should contain few representatives from many
different universities. – If the students in an university vary greatly, the
sample should contain many representatives from each of a few
universities.
Cont.
 In two-stage cluster sampling, the sample of elements is obtained as a
result of two stages of sampling.

 The population elements are first grouped into disjoint


subpopulations, called primary sampling units (PSU). Then, in a first-
stage sampling, a sample of PSU is drawn.

 In the second-stage sampling units (SSU) may be clusters of elements,


for each PSU in the first-stage sample.

 A sample of SSU is drawn (second-stage sampling) from each PSU in


the first-stage sample. When the SSU are clusters, every element in
the selected SSU is surveyed.

Exercise Questions
 11.4: A district is running 110 nursery schools (anganwadi) in
the rural area. The total number of children in these schools, is
knowns to be 8040. The Department of Foods and Nutrition of a
university has undertaken a project to determine the quality of
food intake by the children in these schools. For this purpose, a
sample of 10 was selected using WOR equal probability
sampling. From each selected school, about 5 percent of
children were selected using same procedure.

Exercise Page # 308-310.)
Elaborate diet records were kept for each selected child, and the average daily
calorie intake was determined. The information thus collected, is presented in
the following table.

School Average calorie intake for sample children


1 100 5 650 680 712 766 770
2 93 5 745 690 703 740 671
3 40 2 736 692
4 80 4 703 777 687 714
5 42 2 699 724
6 62 3 760 704 680
7 96 5 715 660 690 670 650
8 46 2 668 701
9 99 5 704 712 692 697 687
10 104 5 714 716 704 725 730

Estimate unbiasedly the average daily calorie intake for the


children of all 110 schools, and also obtain the confidence
interval for it.
 11.7: The excessive rains have caused damage to cotton crop in a certain
area consisting of 132 villages. Before deciding on the extent of relief to be
given to cultivators, the administration has decided to estimate the average
per hectare loss for the area. For this purpose, a sample of 10 villages was
selected using without replacement SRS, and about 5 percent of cultivators
from the sample villages were selected using the same sampling scheme. Per
hectare loss (in '00 rupees) incurred by each selected cultivator was assessed
by visiting his fields. The results are as follows:

Carton Loss per hectare


1 43 2 8 12
2 76 4 16 7 11 13
3 46 2 14 9
4 67 3 17 10 12
5 97 5 14 10 15 17 11
6 75 4 16 9 7 14
7 83 4 9 13 11 13
8 54 3 15 15 13
9 69 3 12 9 11
10 58 3 14 15 14

Work out the estimated average per hectare loss, and also
construct the confidence interval for it.
