Textbook Question

Chapter 6.6, Problem 46SE

(a) State the values that X can assume in each hypergeometric scenario, (b) Use the hypergeometric PDF formula to find the probability requested, (c) Check your answer by using Excel.

i. N = 10, n = 3, s = 4, P(X = 3)
ii. N = 20, n = 5, s = 3, P(X = 2)
iii. N = 36, n = 4, s = 9, P(X = 1)
iv. N = 50, n = 7, s = 10, P(X = 3)

Definition Definition Probability of occurrence of a continuous random variable within a specified range. When the value of a random variable, Y, is evaluated at a point Y=y, then the probability distribution function gives the probability that Y will take a value less than or equal to y. The probability distribution function formula for random Variable Y following the normal distribution is: F(y) = P (Y ≤ y) The value of probability distribution function for random variable lies between 0 and 1.
