Define the sample mean st for stratified random sampling x which gives an unbiased estimate of the population mean. For this sample mean st , prove that var ( st ) is minimum x x for fixed total size (n) of the sample if ni is proportional to Ni

for all i = 1, 2, ... , k.

Can we reject the null hypothesis of equal mean at 0.05 significance level ? [ F0.95 (2, 9) = 4.26 ] 5.

Consider the results given in the following table for an experiment involving four treatments A, B, C, D in four randamized blocks. Test whether the treatments differ significantly. Given that F0.95 (3, 6) = 4.76.
