HypergeometricDistribution

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

Details Details

A hypergeometric distribution gives the distribution of the number of successes in n draws from a population of size containing successes.
HypergeometricDistribution allows n, , and to be any integers such that , and .
HypergeometricDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate. »
