Abstract
For estimating the mean of a finite population, Srivastava and Jhajj (1981) defined a broad class of estimators which we information of the sample mean as well as the sample variance of an auxiliary variable. In this paper we extend this class of estimators to the case when such information on p(> 1) auxiliary variables is available. The estimators of the class involve unknown constants whose optimum values depend on unknown population parameters. When these population parameters are replaced by their consistent estimates, the resulting estimators are shown to have the same asymptotic mean squared error. An expression by which the mean squared error of such estimators is smaller than those which use only the population means of the auxiliary variables, is obtained.
