Using the data in teachers.dat use the sampling weights to find the empirical mass function of the number of hours worked. What is the design effect?

Gnap (1995) conducted a survey to estimate the teacher workload in Maricopa County, Arizona, public school districts. Her target population was all first through sixth grade full time public school teachers with at least one year of experience. In 1994, Maricopa County had 46 school districts with 311 elementary schools and 15,086 teachers. Gnap stratified the schools by size of school district; the large stratum, consisting of schools in districts with more than 5000 students, is considered in this exercise. The stratum contained 245 schools; 23 participated in the survey. All teachers in the selected schools were asked to fill out the questionnaire. Due to non response, however, some questionnaires were not returned.
