Abstract: Two solutions based on two-stage sampling are given to the problem of obtaining a confidence interval having a specified width 2d for the parameter of the uniform (0,[theta]) density. When d/0 is small, they yield smaller sample sizes than that of Graybill and Connell (1964). An adaptive sequential procedure is also developed and compared with the two-stage procedures.
