An exact test based on the unconditional distribution of a test statistic for the Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium is introduced. This test is usually more powerful and requires less extensive tabulations compared with the (ordinary) exact conditional test. Tables of critical values are given for N = 5(1)100 and α =·10, ·05, ·01. Sample sizes required to attain a given power with the unconditional and conditional exact tests are provided.
