Language: English

Keywords:
normal population
variance
standard deviation
sample size

Summary:
UMVUE estimator of variation and two estimators, one of them UMVUE, of standard deviation in normal population are considered. The probability of attaining relative error not much than a fixed value is investigated. There are given the minimal sample sizes for which such a probability is at least p.
