Abstract
The problem of estimation of the total weight of objects using a singular spring balance weighing design with non‐homogeneity of the variances of errors has been dealt with in this paper. Based on a theorem by Katulska (1984) giving a lower bound for the variance of the estimated total weight, a necessary and sufficient condition for this lower bound to be attained is obtained. It is shown that weighing designs for which the the lower bound is attainable, can be constructed from the incidence matrices of (α1,.,αt)‐resolvable block designs, α‐resolvable block designs, singular group divisible designs, and semi‐regular group divisible designs.
