Abstract:
The rationale of sequential sampling is described in nonmathematical terms. Formulas are given for dichotomous sampling plans based on the binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions. Solved examples are given for each type of distribution, and some applications to sampling for insect pests are discussed
