Step 1
Hypergeometric Distribution: Suppose there is a finite population of size N that contains exactly K objects that has a specified feature. A random sample of size n has been drawn from this population without replacement, wherein each draw is either a success or a failure. Then the probability distribution of the number of objects in the sample with that feature, called success, is said to follow Hypergeometric distribution.
Let us assume X be a random variable denoting the number of success.
Then , N, K and n being the parameters of the hypergeometric distribution.
The probability mass function of X is given by,
