Abstract: In the recent time researchers have focused on offering estimators for unknown population mean utilising auxiliary information in the sampling field. Auxiliary information is very useful to increase accuracy of the estimator. It is usual practice to increase the precision of estimators by using auxiliary data. The bias & MSE formulation for the suggested estimator have been derived to the first order of approximation. A comparison technique was utilised to assess the effectiveness of the recommended estimator and it was found that it outperformed several of the estimators that were already in use in the literature.

Keywords: Auxiliary Information, Bias, Mean Squared Error and Efficiency.
