Variances in Sampling Streams of Coal

CODEN: JTEVAB

Abstract

Beginning with the postulate that the serial correlation in an infinite population is invariant with respect to segment mass, expressions are developed for variance as a function of mass and expected variance of the mean using random, stratified random, or systematic sampling of a linear population. The expression for variance as a function of mass is shown to agree well with data from one coal experiment and to be the same as an empirical formula developed from agricultural experiments.
