FORM 2 (Optional) Appropriate for stratified simple or systematic random sampling designs. Calculation of Weighted Retailer Violation Rate State: FFY: 2016 (1) Stratum Name (2) N Number of Outlets in Sampling Frame (3) n Original Sample Size (4) n1 Number of Sample Outlets Found Eligible (5) n2 Number of Outlets Inspected (6) x Number of Outlets Found in Violation (7) p=x/n2 Stratum Retailer Violation Rate (8) N’=N(n1/n) Estimated Number of Eligible Outlets in Population (9) w=N’/Total Column 8 Relative Stratum Weight (10) pw Stratum Contribution to State Weighted RVR (11) s.e. Standard Error of Stratum RVR Total N - number of outlets in sampling frame n - original sample size (number of outlets in the original sample) n1 - number of sample outlets that were found to be eligible n2 - number of eligible outlets that were inspected x - number of inspected outlets that were found in violation p - stratum retailer violation rate (p=x/n2) N’ - estimated number of eligible outlets in population (N’=N*n1/n) w - relative stratum weight (w=N’/Total Column 8) pw - stratum contribution to the weighted RVR s.e. - standard error of the stratum RVR
2. Counties: 499,999 - 150,000 residents 7 counties 3. Counties: 149,999 - 50,000 residents 18 counties 4. Counties: 49,999 - 20,000 residents 26 counties 5. Counties: Less than 20,000 residents 18 counties C. Do a Probability Proportional Sample (PPS) by geography, using total county population by taking a random sample of outlets within each of the 5 strata that is proportional to the overall population of the counties. b. Is clustering used within the stratified sample? Yes (Go to Question 8.) No (Go to Question 9.) 8. Provide the following information about clustering. a. Provide a full description of how clusters are formed. (If multistage clusters are used, give definitions of clusters at each stage.) b. Specify the sampling method (simple random, systematic, or probability proportional to size sampling) for each stage of sampling and describe how the method(s) is (are) implemented. 9. Provide the following information about determining the Synar Sample. Was the Synar Survey Estimation System (SSES) used to calculate the sample size? Yes (Respond to part b.) No (Respond to part c and Question 10c.) SSES Sample Size Calculator used? State Level (Respond to Question 10a.) Stratum Level (Respond to Question 10a and 10b.) Provide the formulas for determining the effective, target, and original outlet sample sizes. 10. Provide the following information about sample size calculations for the current FFY Synar survey.
