Abstract
Abstract Abstract A method is developed for obtaining the size and power of a wide class of tests which includes solutions to the Behrens-Fisher problem proposed by various authors. A new test in this class is also developed which controls the size effectively and has high power. A comparison is made with other known tests as regards control of size. The power of the proposed test as well as that of Welch-Aspin is also obtained.

By inspection of Sukhatme's tables I produced an empirical approximation, based on the Student t-table, which has found its way into a number of text-books, and I should like consequently to give some account of its accuracy.
