Abstract
This paper considers a family of estimators of population mean Ӯ of the variable y under study using information on two auxiliary variables x and z under simple random sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) scheme. The expressions for bias and mean-squared error of the proposed family of estimators are obtained up to the first degree of approximation. In addition to many, Mohanty (1967), Khare and Srivastava (1981) and Upadhyaya and Singh (1984) estimators are identified as particular members of the suggested family. Asymptotic optimum estimator (AOE) in the family is identified with its approximate mean-squared error expression. (original abstract)
