Abstract: In this paper, we present results pertaining to investigations concerning randomized response sampling. We consider an ratio estimation procedure that is a development for some existing investigations, and then provide the suitable ratio estimator for estimating an unknown proportion of people bearing a sensitive characteristic in a given community. It is demonstrated the superiority the proposed procedure over Warner [9] procedure.
