Hypergeometric Distribution

Parameters:

Number of successful items in the population (Nx), sampled trials (n), population size (N)

Formula:

Formula for hypergeometric distribution

where:

Condition for hypergeometric formula

for:

Condition for hypergeometric formula

and

N is less than or equal to 1,000

and x = number of successful trials,

so Nx = number of successful items in the population.

Method: Direct Simulation

Comment: Computation time increases linearly with population size.
