Abstract :In probability sampling, the inclusion probability of any element in the population is the probability of the element which will be chosen in the sample. Al-Saleh and Samawi (A note on inclusion probability in ranked set sampling and some of its variations, Test., in press) introduced inclusion probabilities in ranked set sampling for sample sizes 2 and 3. In this paper we gave a generalized formula of these inclusion probabilities for any sample size. Also we compare these probabilities with simple random samplings for various given samples and population sizes.Keywords : Ranked Set sampling, Simple random sampling, Inclusion probability, Finite population, 2000 AMS Classification: Primary 62 D 05.
