Abstract

In the presented paper, authors propose a new estimator by combining two already exist ratio estimators and estimate the population mean in simple random sampling. Authors also determine the mean square error (MSE) of this estimator. In the last of this paper, they show that the presented estimator is more efficient than the existing ratio estimators theoretically and numerically.
