Popis:	In this paper we study the problem of estimating the mean when the number of observations taken on each unit is a random variable. The estimator proposed by M. Singh and V. K. Gupta (1980) is discussed and modified. It is argued, however, that the arithmetic mean is a more appropriate choice of estimator.
