ABSTRACT This paper deals with the problem of estimating the finite population mean when some information on two auxiliary attributes are available. It is shown that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the usual mean estimator and other existing estimators. The study is also extended to two-phase sampling. The results have been illustrated numerically by taking empirical population considered in the literature.
Key words: Simple random sampling, auxiliary attribute, point bi-serial correlation, phi correlation, efficiency. Mathematics subject classification number: 62 DO5 Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) Classification Number: C83
1. INTRODUCTION There are some situations when in place of one auxiliary attribute, we have information on two qualitative variables. For illustration, to estimate the hourly wages we can use the information on marital status and region of residence (see Gujrati and Sangeetha (2007), page-311). Here we assume that both auxiliary attributes have significant point bi-serial correlation with the study variable and there is significant phi-correlation (see Yule (1912)) between the auxiliary attributes. The use of auxiliary information can increase the precision of an estimator when study variable Y is highly correlated with auxiliary variables X. Naik and Gupta (1996) introduced a ratio estimator when the study variable and the auxiliary attribute are positively correlated. Jhajj et al. (2006) suggested a family of estimators for the population mean in single and two phase sampling when the study variable and auxiliary attribute are positively correlated. Shabbir and Gupta (2007), Singh et al. (2008), Singh et al. (2010) and Abd-Elfattah et al. (2010) have considered the problem of estimating population mean Y taking into consideration the point biserial correlation between auxiliary attribute and study variable.

4. EMPIRICAL STUDY Data: (Source: Government of Pakistan (2004))
The population consists rice cultivation areas in 73 districts of Pakistan. The variables are defined as: Y= rice production (in 000’ tonnes, with one tonne = 0.984 ton) during 2003,
P1 = production of farms where rice production is more than 20 tonnes during the year 2002, and P2 = proportion of farms with rice cultivation area more than 20 hectares during the year 2003. For this data, we have N=73, Y =61.3,
P1 =0.4247, P2 =0.3425, S 2y =12371.4, S I21 =0.225490, SI22 =0.228311,

5. DOUBLE SAMPLING It is assumed that the population proportion P1 for the first auxiliary attribute I1 is unknown but the same is known for the second auxiliary attribute I 2 . When P1 is unknown, it is some times estimated from a preliminary large sample of size n c on which only the attribute I1 is measured. Then a second phase sample of size n (n< n c ) is drawn and Y is observed. Let p cj

The estimator’s t1, t2, t3 and t4 in two-phase sampling take the following form

8. EMPIRICAL STUDY Data: (Source: Singh and Chaudhary (1986), P. 177). The population consists of 34 wheat farms in 34 villages in certain region of India. The variables are defined as: y = area under wheat crop (in acres) during 1974.
p1 = proportion of farms under wheat crop which have more than 500 acres land during 1971. and p 2 = proportion of farms under wheat crop which have more than 100 acres land during 1973. For this data, we have N=34, Y =199.4,
P1 =0.6765, P2 =0.7353, S 2y =22564.6, S I21 =0.225490, SI22 =0.200535,
U pb1 =0599, U pb 2 =0.559, U I =0.725. Table 7.1: PRE of different estimators of

9. Conclusion In this paper, we have suggested a class of estimators in single and double sampling by using point bi serial correlation and phi correlation coefficient. From Table 4.1 and Table 7.1, we observe that the proposed estimator tp and its double sampling version tpd, performs better than other estimators considered in this paper.
