The experiment that is used to illustrate when the hypergeometric distribution arises is that of an urn with N balls of two colors; M "white" balls and N - M "black" balls. The…

There are four scenarios that have a simple way to count the number of outcomes. The third of these is when the outcomes are unordered, and sampling is without replacement. In this topic, two…

Enumerating outcomes in the sample space of an experiment, or in an event in the Borel field on the sample space, is the first step in computing the probability of an event. In this section, we…
