Please. I need help resolving this problem. Thank you!

A population of 360 household (numbered 1 to 360) in Baltimore is arranged alphabetically in a file by the surname of the head of the household. Households in which the head is nonwhite occur at the following numbers: 28, 31-33, 36-41, 44, 45, 47, 55, 56, 58, 68, 69, 82, 83, 85, 86, 89-94, 98, 99, 101, 107-110, 114, 154, 156, 178, 223, 224, 296, 298-300, 302-304, 306-323, 325-331, 333, 335-339, 341, 342. (The nonwhite households show some "clumping" because of an association between surname and color).

Compare the precision of a 1 in 8 systematic sample with a simple random sample of the same size for estimating the proportion of households in which the head is nonwhite.
