✦ Synopsis

This paper provides an alternative test procedure for the problem of testing normal mean against two-sided alternative with known variance for costly trials. The goal is to carry out the test procedure with a smaller sample size if the alternative is true. The sample size is determined in an adaptive fashion which takes all the previous observations into account for adaptation. Some exact and asymptotic results related to the test and design are studied.
