The mean of the usual balanced ranked set sample is more efficient as an estimator of the population mean than the mean of a simple random sample. In this study, different ranked set sampling plans are considered for estimating of population mean. These estimators are theoretical compared in terms of relative efficiency under uniform, normal, exponential and weibull distribution. </span> </span> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Gazi University}
