Let {$F(x)$} be the continuous distribution function of a random variable {$X},$ and {$F_n(x)$} the empirical distribution function determined by a sample {$X_1}, X_2, {\textbackslash}cdots, X_n$. It is well known that the probability {$P_n({\textbackslash}epsilon)$} of {$F(x)$} being everywhere majorized by {$F_n(x)} + {\textbackslash}epsilon$ is independent of {$F(x)$.} The present paper contains the derivation of an explicit expression for {$P_n({\textbackslash}epsilon)$}, and a tabulation of the 10%, 5%, 1%, and 0.1% points of {$P_n({\textbackslash}epsilon)$} for $n =$ 5, 8, 10, 20, 40, 50. For $n =$ 50 these values agree closely with those obtained from an asymptotic expression due to N. Smirnov.
