Table 6 Fur Baranga: decision rules, alpha and beta errors for the 33 × 6 and 67 × 3 designs for the 10%, 15% and 20% GAM thresholds, using actual sample size available for analysis
From: Precision, time, and cost: a comparison of three sampling designs in an emergency setting

33 × 6 design | 16 | 192 | ≤ 13 (α = 0.07, β = 0.10) | ≤ 22* (α = 0.09, β = 0.21) | ≤ 32* (α = 0.14, β = 0.22) |
