✦ Synopsis


This article determines the sample size required to construct a conÿdence interval for the success probability of an event with preassigned width 2d and conÿdence level 1 -. For = 0:10; 0:05; 0:01 and d = 0:01(0:01)0:05; the sample size is tabulated and the corresponding conÿdence interval deÿned. For other values of and d, Fortran 77 programs are available from the authors.
