This paper extends Nair's exact Table of 952 and 99% confidence intervals for the median to data sets containing up to 300 observations. It provides for an approximate relationship especially useful when the number of observations is large, and allows to calculate quickly confidence intervals affected only seldom and occasionally by tolerable error.
