A survey researcher wants to estimate the total population of a city using a ratio estimator. They have a known auxiliary variable (total number of housing units) for the city, where . They draw a simple random sample of blocks. The sample mean of the variable of interest is (average population per block) and the sample mean of the auxiliary variable is (average housing units per block). What is the estimated total population using the ratio estimator?
