Abstract
D. Wan very recently proved an asymptotic version of a conjecture of Hansen and Mullen concerning the distribution of irreducible polynomials over finite fields. In this note we prove that the conjecture is true in general by using machine calculation to verify the open cases remaining after Wan's work.
