HypergeometricDistribution

HypergeometricDistribution[n, , ] gives the hypergeometric distribution for the number of successes out of a sample of size n, from a popultion of size containing successes.

The hypergeometric distribution HypergeometricDistribution[n, , ] is used in place of the binomial distribution for experiments in which the n trials correspond to sampling without replacement from a population of size with potential successes.

This generates a set of random numbers that follow the hypergeometric distribution.

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

This gives the probability density function for the hypergeometric distribution.

In[2]:=

Out[2]:=

This gives the cumulative distribution function for the hypergeometric distribution.

In[3]:=

Out[3]:=
