(i).  Distinguish between SRSWOR and SRSWR with examples. (ii). In SRSWOR, show that the Probability of selecting a specified unit  at   any given draw is equal to the probability of  selecting it at the first draw. 3. In SRSWOR, show that        (i). Sample mean square is an unbiased estimator of population mean square.        (ii). V( n )= {(N-n)/Nn} S 2      4. Explain the purpose of stratification in sample survey.         Show that V( n ) R  V( st ) prop in usual notations.         5. In usual notations, prove that the systematic sample mean is more efficient     than the mean of a simple random sample taken without replacement      if   S 2 wsy  S 2 .  6.
