A researcher uses the Horvitz-Thompson estimator to estimate the population total Y=∑i=1NyiY = \sum_{i=1}^N y_iY=∑i=1N​yi​. If each unit iii has an inclusion probability πi\pi_iπi​, the estimator is Y^HT=∑i∈syiπi\hat{Y}_{HT} = \sum_{i \in s} \frac{y_i}{\pi_i}Y^HT​=∑i∈s​πi​yi​​. Given a population of size N=5N=5N=5 with units y={10,20,30,40,50}y = \{10, 20, 30, 40, 50\}y={10,20,30,40,50} and a sample of n=2n=2n=2 where units are selected with probabilities πi\pi_iπi​ proportional to their values (PPS), what is the expected value E[Y^HT]E[\hat{Y}_{HT}]E[Y^HT​]?
