 11.12:The objective of a study was to estimate the proportion of liquor shops
in a state selling spurious liquor. The state consists of 117 development blocks
and has 8068 liquor shops. A WOR simple random sample of 10 blocks was
selected for this study. About 10 percent of liquor shops were selected from
the sampled development blocks. The liquor in the selected shops was
examined. The collected information along with the total number of liquor
shops in the sample blocks (Mi) and the number of shops selected (mi) is given
as follows.
Block Shop selling
1 104 10 4
2 96 10 5
3 60 6 4
4 102 10 6
5 101 10 7
6 91 9 5
7 87 9 4
8 90 9 3
9 104 10 4
10 96 10 5

Estimate unbiasedly the proportion of shops selling spurious liquor in the state. Also
work out the standard error of your estimate and place confidence limits on the value
of the parameter under study.
Given that N = 117, Mo = 8068, n = 10 , Pi=Shops selling/mi
qi=1-pi

 11.13: There are 76 senior citizen homes (SCH’s) in a state which care for the
old persons who are unable to stay at their native homes due to some
reasons. It is felt that once a person is admitted to an SCH and stays there for
some time, he/ she does not like to return to his / her native home even if
the circumstances that had compelled him / her to live in the SCH have
changed and are favorable for his / her return. For verifying this belief, a
WOR simple random sample homes were was drawn. About 10 percent of the
persons living in the sample homes were interviewed. The information, so
collected, is given in the following table, where 1 indicates that the person is
not willing to return to his / her native home, and o otherwise. The total
number of persons staying in a sample SCH (MI), and the number of persons
selected for interview (mi), are also given in the table.
 Using estimator in (11.33), estimate the proportion of persons not willing to return
to their native homes. Also, work out the standard error of the estimate, and place
confidence limits on the population value. (Class Work)
