Abstract

Researchers in the subject of simple random sampling used to rely on the well-known classical estimator, the ratio estimator, when estimating the population mean. However, with the development of studies and research, researchers proposed a set of new estimators that increase the efficiency of the estimation, especially when using auxiliary information alongside the study variable Y. In this research, a set of ratio-type estimators was presented using auxiliary information to estimate the arithmetic mean of the simple random sample. These estimators were applied to a set of real data, and a comparison was made between these estimators through the MSE comparison criterion.
