- HyperGeometric[ <Population Size>, <Number of Successes>, <Sample Size>]
- Returns a bar graph of a Hypergeometric distribution.
- Parameters:
- Population size: number of balls in the urn
- Number of Successes: number of white balls in the urn
- Sample Size: number of balls drawn from the urn
The bar graph shows the probability function of the number of white balls in the sample.
- HyperGeometric[ <Population Size>, <Number of Successes>, <Sample Size>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
- Returns a bar graph of a Hypergeometric distribution when Cumulative = false.
- Returns a bar graph of a cumulative Hypergeometric distribution when Cumulative = true.
- First three parameters are same as above.
- HyperGeometric[ <Population Size>, <Number of Successes>, <Sample Size>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
- Let X be a Hypergeometric random variable.
- Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.
- Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.
- First three parameters are same as above.
CAS Syntax
In CAS View only one syntax is allowed:
- HyperGeometric[ <Population Size>, <Number of Successes>, <Sample Size>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
- Let X be a Hypergeometric random variable.
- Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.
- Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.
- First three parameters are same as above.
- Example:Assume you select two balls out of ten balls, two of which are white, without putting any back.
HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 0, false]
yields \frac{28}{45}, the probability of selecting zero white balls,HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 1, false]
yields \frac{16}{45}, the probability of selecting one white ball,HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 2, false]
yields \frac{1}{45}, the probability of selecting both white balls,HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 3, false]
yields 0, the probability of selecting three white balls.HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 0, true]
yields \frac{28}{45}, the probability of selecting zero (or less) white balls,HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 1, true]
yields \frac{44}{45}, the probability of selecting one or less white balls,HyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 2, true]
yields 1, the probability of selecting tow or less white balls andHyperGeometric[10, 2, 2, 3, true]
yields 1, the probability of selecting three or less white balls.
