1 The Hypergeometric Distribution

2 Properties Exactly two outcomes Fixed number of trials Outcomes must be mutually exclusive Probabilities are dependent

3 Example 1: Ten people apply for a job as assistant manager of a store. Six have completed college and 4 have not. If the manager selects 3 applicants at random, find the probability that all 3 will have a college degree. HaveWant college No college total 6 4 10 303303
