Abstract
A method is described for determining the sample size required for a specified precision simultaneous confidence statement about the parameters of a multinomial population.The method is based on a simultaneous confidence interval procedure due to Goodman, and the results are compared with those obtained by separately considering each cell of the multinomial population as a binomial.
