A table enables the researcher to perform the sign test and distribution-free interval estimation of the median. By virtue of using the critical sample-size as entry and also providing instructions about the simple calculating required for some applications, the table combines shortness of format and breadth of applicability, encompassing 12 probability levels and sample sizes to 1,000.
