In probability theory and statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of k {\displaystyle k} successes (random draws for which the object drawn has a specified feature) in n {\displaystyle n} draws, without replacement, from a finite population of size N {\displaystyle N} that contains…
