Suppose several two-parameter exponential populations are given. The scale parameters are assumed unequal and can be either known or unknown. This paper discusses how to select those populations having their location parameters better than a standard under the indifference zone formulation. A striking feature of these procedures is that no statistical tables are needed for their implementation.
