Your Name Hello!

In this presentation I’ll


talk through a
mathematical example of
Brewer’s Method.
Number of
Hospital Number of beds (
EXAMPLE : patients (

Suppose, a population consists of A 40 27


A 40 27
3 hospitals A, B and C with the
B 35 24
following statistics on the number 35 24
B
of patients admitted during 25 18
C
different periods. C 25 18
Total 100 69
Total 100 69

  estimate of the total patients under

Brewer’s Method for n=2.
The accompanying table shows the necessary computations for the
selection of the first unit.

Total D = 2.3333
Total D = 2.3333

  selecting the first unit, consider the four digit random numbers. Suppose that, the
In
number happens to be 4919. Then, our selected hospital is A and and.
The drawing of second unit when unit B has been drawn first can be made with
probability .
 
The table below shows the drawing procedure:

A 0.40 - -

B 0.35 0.5833 1-5833

C 0.25 0.4167 5834-10000


A four digit random number is used to draw the
second unit. Suppose, this random number is 5507.
Then, our selected hospital is B with . Hence, the
estimate for the total is-

= 68
