Hypergeometric DistributionThe Hypergeometric Distribution is used like the binomial distribution in that there are TWO outcomes. However, the difference is that the trials are done WITHOUT replacement. For example when flipping a coin each outcome (head or tail) has the same probability each time. Both heads and tails are outcomes every time on each trial. Therefore the binomial distribution formulas apply. The following assumptions and rules apply: Once again, most statistical software can solve for probabilities when given the inputs.
