HypergeometricDistribution

HypergeometricDistribution[n, n_succ, n_tot]
represents a hypergeometric distribution.

MORE INFORMATION

A hypergeometric distribution gives the distribution of the number of successes in n draws from a population of size n_tot containing n_succ successes.

HypergeometricDistribution allows n, n_succ, and n_tot to be any integers such that 0<n≤n_tot, and 0≤n_succ≤n_tot.

HypergeometricDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF and RandomInteger. »
