A mixed selection mechanism gives multiples of kk two routes into the sample, breaking equal inclusion probability

Consider a population of N=nkN=nk units with k>1k>1. A sample of size nn is obtained by the following method: (i) A unit is drawn from the set of units labelled {k,2k,…,N}\{k,2k,\dots,N\} with probability 1/n1/n and is included in the sample. (ii) A SRSWOR of size n−1n-1 is then obtained from the remaining N−1N-1 units in the population and these units are included in the sample. Then:
