Characteristics of a Probability
Distribution
The probability of a particular outcome is between 0
and 1 inclusive.
The outcomes are mutually exclusive events.
The list is exhaustive. So the sum of the probabilities
of the various events is equal to 1.

Hypergeometric Probability
Distribution
An outcome on each trial of an experiment is
classified into one of two mutually exclusive
categoriesa success or a failure.
The probability of success and failure changes
from trial to trial.
The trials are not independent, meaning that the
outcome of one trial affects the outcome of any other
trial.

Hypergeometric Probability
Distribution - Example
PlayTime Toys, Inc., employs 50
people
in
the
Assembly
Department.
Forty
of
the
employees belong to a union and
ten do not. Five employees are
selected at random to form a
committee
to
meet
with
management regarding shift
starting times.
What is the probability that four
of the five selected for the
committee belong to a union?

Hypergeometric Probability
Distribution - Example
Heres whats given:
N = 50 (number of employees)
S = 40 (number of union employees)
x = 4 (number of union employees
selected)
n = 5 (number of employees selected)
What is the probability that four of the five
selected for the committee belong to a
union?
