Remarks

The HyperGeometric Probability Distribution is closely related to the Binomial probability distribution. The key difference between the two probability distributions is that with the Hypergeometric distribution, the trials are not independent and the probability of success changes from trial to trial.

The usual notation in the application of the Hypergeometric probability distribution is to let r denote the number of items in the population of size N that are labeled ``success'' and N-r denote the number of items in the population labeled ``failure''. The Hypergeometric probability function is used to compute the probability that in a random sample of n items, selected without replacement, we will obtain x items labeled ``success'' and n-x items labeled "failure". For this to occur, we must obtain x successes from the x successes in the population and n-x failures from the N-r failures.
