10.9 There are 300 ponds in a development block consisting of 120 villages.
The block administration is planning to use these ponds for fish farming. It is
felt that the actual area of ponds is less than that appearing in revenue
records. It is perhaps due to encroachment of the pond area by the residents.
A survey was therefore, undertaken to estimate the total pond area, available
at present, in the block. A WOR simple random sample of 10 villages was
drawn. Area of each pond in the sample villages was accurately measured.
The number of ponds ( in each sample village and the area of ponds are as
follows:
Village Area (in hectares)
1 3 2.56 0.43 1.62
2 2 1.31 2.94
4 2 2.31 1.75
6 2 1.36 0.99
7 2 0.34 1.41
8 3 2.07 1.61

Estimate unbiasedly, the proportion/ total number of trains arriving late at all
the 105 terminal stations. Also, work out the standard error of your estimate,
and place confidence limits on the population parameter being estimated.
