In a survey using a stratified design, let NhN_hNh​ be the stratum size, σh\sigma_hσh​ the stratum standard deviation, and chc_hch​ the cost per unit in stratum hhh. If the total cost is C=c0+∑h=1HchnhC = c_0 + \sum_{h=1}^H c_h n_hC=c0​+∑h=1H​ch​nh​, what is the optimal sample size nhn_hnh​ that minimizes the variance of the mean estimator for a fixed budget CCC?
