Let the population have N=7 units, with {(unit,value)} =
{(A,-1),(B,+1),(C,-2),(D,+3),(E,-4),(F,+5),(G,-6)}. The design is
as follows: first choose A or B at random; if A then choose from
{C,D} at random, if B then choose from {E,F,G} at random. 1) Find
the first-order inclusion probabilities (note that the sample size
n is fixed at 2).
Verify (show numerically for this example) that the
Horvitz-Thompson estimator is unbiased for the population total.
