a) Proportional allocation is an allocation of sampling units to strata so that the variance of the estimator is minimized for a given total cost. (1) True (2) False b) The variance estimator from the two-stage cluster sampling will be always smaller than the variance estimator from the one-stage cluster sampling. (1) True (2) False c) If the psu population totals are highly correlated with the selection probability, then an unequal-probability sampling design can greatly increase efficiency. (1) True (2) False d) Probability proportional to size sampling is the equal probability sampling method in which the probability of sampling a unit is proportional to the number of elements in the unit. (1) True (2) False e) The unit nonresponse occurs when a unit has responses to some but not all of the items in the survey instrument. (1) True (2) False
