Formula
Definition
In probability theory and statistics, the
hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability
distribution that describes the probability of successes
in draws, without replacement.

characteristics
The hypergeometric distribution has the
following characteristics:
 There are only 2 possible outcomes.
 The probability of a success is not the same
on each trial without replacement, thus
events are not independent
 In which population is finite .
 Trials are dependent
Hypergeometric
Distribution
It is similar to the binomial distribution. But the difference is the method of
sampling
Binomial experiment: Sampling with replacement
Hypergeometric experiment: Sampling without replacement

Example 1
In PlayTime Toys, Inc.,
Five employees are selected at
random to form a committee
to meet with management
regarding shift starting
times. What is the
probability that four of the
five selected for the
committee belong to a union?
