A population N is divided into three strata so that N1 = 5000, N2 = 2000and N3 = 3000. Respective standard deviations are: σ1 = 15, σ2 = 18, and σ3 = 5. How should a sample of size n = 84 be allocated to the three strata, if we want optimum allocation using disproportionate sampling design?

A: n1=50,n2=10andn3 =24
B: n1=28,n2=28andn3 =28
C: n1=50,n2=24andn3 =10
D: n1=54,n2=10andn3 =20

The answer is: C
