A survey organization uses cluster sampling, dividing a region into 400 geographic clusters of 30 households each. The intraclass correlation coefficient is ρ = 0.12. They sample 20 clusters and survey all households within each. What is the design effect compared to simple random sampling?

DE=1+(m−1)ρwhere m=cluster sizeDE = 1 + (m-1)\rho \quad \text{where } m = \text{cluster size}DE=1+(m−1)ρwhere m=cluster size
