In the survey in Exercise 8.10, the number of households in the city is not known. Estimate the total amount spent on utilities for all households in the city and place a bound on the error of estimation.
Exercise 8.10
An economic survey is designed to estimate the average amount spent on utilities for households in a city. Because no list of households is available, cluster sampling is used, with divisions (wards) forming the clusters. A simple random sample of 20 wards is selected from the 60 wards of the city. Interviewers then obtain the cost of utilities from each household within the sampled wards; the total costs are shown in the accompanying table. Estimate the average amount a household in the city spends on utilities and place a bound on the error of estimation.
