HYPGEOM.DIST function
Returns the hypergeometric distribution
Syntax
HYPGEOM.DIST(sample_s, number_sample, population_s, number_pop, cumulative)Square brackets indicate optional arguments.
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| sample_s | Yes | The number of successes in the sample.1 |
| number_sample | Yes | The size of the sample.4 |
| population_s | Yes | The number of successes in the population.8 |
| number_pop | Yes | The population size.20 |
| cumulative | Yes | A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, HYPGEOM.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability density function.true |
Try HYPGEOM.DIST
Sample two successes without replacement
=HYPGEOM.DIST(A2,B2,C2,D2,FALSE)Sampling without replacement gives COMBIN(5,2)*COMBIN(5,2)/COMBIN(10,4)=100/210 for exactly two successes. This differs from independent binomial sampling.
