Abstract
We describe a method of establishing optimal bounds on the expectations of arbitrary linear combinations of order statistics based on iid samples drawn with replacement from finite populations of a fixed size. The bounds are expressed in terms of the population size, mean, central absolute moments, and coefficients of the combination. The bounds are precisely determined for the trimmed means and their differences, and single order statistics and their differences in particular. We also show that with increase in population size, our bounds approach the respective universal ones for arbitrary iid samples. E-mail: trychlik@impan.gov.pl
