COMPUTER-ASSISTED RANDOM SAMPLING
Many state transportation agencies use statistical quality assurance specifications to govern construction work. A vital step in the application of these and other types of specifications is the selection of random samples to obtain a valid estimate of the quality received. Random-sampling procedures are often tedious and time consuming but can be considerably simplified with computer assistance, either by using special forms generated by computer or by working directly at an interactive terminal. Examples of several applications are presented.
