A survey researcher wants to estimate the total population YYY of a city using a ratio estimator. They have a known auxiliary variable XXX (total number of housing units) for the city, where X=50,000X = 50,000X=50,000. They draw a simple random sample of n=400n = 400n=400 blocks. The sample mean of the variable of interest is yˉ=120\bar{y} = 120yˉ​=120 (average population per block) and the sample mean of the auxiliary variable is xˉ=100\bar{x} = 100xˉ=100 (average housing units per block). What is the estimated total population Y^R\hat{Y}_RY^R​ using the ratio estimator?
