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
.
