Abstract
We develop a two phase sampling procedure to determine the sample size necessary to estimate
the population mean of a normally distributed random variable and show that the resulting estimator has preassigned
variance and is unbiased under a regular condition. We present a necessary and sufficient condition
under which the final sample mean is an unbiased estimator for the population mean.
