Abstract

Positive Bernoulli and Poisson variables result when the zero class either does not exist or cannot be observed. These tables give the expected value of the reciprocal of such variables for p = .01 to p = .99 and sample sizes from 2 to 30 in the Bernoulli distribution and for means from .01 to 20 in the Poisson distribution. The preparation and use of the tables is discussed.
