Abstract
This paper deals with the calculation of large sample sizes for which confidence intervals of given widths for k multinomial frequencies are simultaneously correct at a given significance level. It is shown that a method for determining such sample sizes yields less conservative results than those given by other methods in use. Also, a less conservative empirical bound for sample sizes is proposed for confidence intervals of the same width.Keywords
