Conclusion

The results obtained in this note are subject to many limitations. We have considered a very simple rule of subdivision of a bivariate population. It is quite natural to think that there may exist other rules of stratification leading to a considerable decrease of the standard error of the estimates. In practical situations the stratification variables are generally different from the estimation variables. Moreover by considering a hypothetical population it has been possible to neglect the finite population correction. The utility of the result is also handicapped due to computational difficulties.
