For populations in which the genotypic frequencies are estimated, it is customary to test the deviation of the estimates from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg Law using the x2goodness-of-fit statistic. Maximum likelihood estimation ofWright'sF statisticand its variance furnishes a similar test. Following the derivation of the variance of, this note reviews the relation between the two tests. The F statistic possesses the advantages of full sufficiency and an easier formulation of the power function. Its bias is negligible when sample size exceeds 20.
