			Computation of Measures of Size for the 2011 Private School Writing Computer-Based Assessment School Sample Sizes for 2011 Private School Writing Computer-Based Assessment: Frame and New School

 

The writing computer-based assessment (WCBA) private school sample was selected with probability proportional to size using systematic sampling from a sorted list. A school's measure of size was a complex function of the school's estimated grade enrollment.

Schools were ordered within each grade using the serpentine sort described under the stratification of private schools. A systematic sample was then drawn using this serpentine sorted list and the measures of size.
