Abstract: This article presents the coordinate-free approach to extend a result of Bellhouse (1987) for the estimation of a finite population total under model-based inference to include models with correlated error structure. The result is applied to derive the optimal linear model unbiased estimator of the finite population total when the observations are correlated.
