Correct simple formulas are provided for the value of 0 needed to use the commonly available Pearson and Hartley (1951) power charts in determining the power of hypothesis tests involving single degree-of-freedom comparisons in the fixed effects analysis of variance. Most experimental design textbooks do not present such formulas; two widely used texts that do give them present incorrect ones.
