This paper suggests a class of estimators for estimating the finite population mean of the study variable using known population mean of the auxiliary variable . Asymptotic expressions of bias and variance of the suggested class of estimators have been obtained. Asymptotic optimum estimator (AOE) in the class is identified along with its variance formula. It has been shown that the proposed class of estimators is more efficient than usual unbiased, usual ratio, usual product, Bahl and Tuteja (1991), and Kadilar and Cingi (2003) estimators under some realistic conditions. An empirical study is carried out to judge the merits of suggested estimator over other competitors practically.

In This paper a modied ratio-type estimator for nite population mean under stratied random sampling using single auxiliary variable has been proposed. The expression for mean square error and bias of the proposed estimator are derived up to the rst order of approximation. The expression for minimum mean square error of proposed estimator is also obtained. The mean square error the proposed estimator is compared with other existing estimators theoretically and condition are obtained under which proposed estimator performed better. A real life population data set has been considered to compare the efciency of the proposed estimator numerically.
