Repeated significance tests for a normal mean

SUMMARY Repeated significance tests for a normal mean, with variance known, are studied asymptotically. Approximations are given for the significance level, power and expected sample size. These approximations are shown to be accurate enough for practical numerical purposes over a wide range of parameter values. An analogous test for the case of unknown variance is suggested and an approximation to its significance level obtained.
