THE HYPERGEOMETRIC
DISTRIBUTION

TYPES OF PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

PROPERTIES OF HYPERGEOMETRIC STAT & PROB

DISTRIBUTION
• A sample of size n is randomly selected without
replacement from a population of N items.
• The k items in the population may be classified
as successes, and the N-k items may be
classified as failures.

EXAMPLE 1

There are 6 white balls and 34 blue

balls in the basket. If you draw 8 balls
from the basket without replacement,
what is the probability that exactly 3 of
the balls are white?

SEATWORK
Suppose there are 15 universities in Luzon
and 10 of them are located in Metro Manila. If
three universities are selected at random
from the entire list, what is the probability
that one or more of the selected universities
is located in Metro Manila?

EXAMPLE 2
The average number of traffic accidents on a
certain intersection in Tacloban is two per month.
a. Find the probability that zero accidents happen
on that certain intersection in a one month
period.
b. Find the probability that at most four accidents
occur on that intersection in a 2-month period.

1. The number of days that classes are
suspended due to flood during rainy
season in Manila is 5. What is the
probability that the class wil be
suspended in Manila for 6 days during a
rainy season?

ACTIVITY #7
Solve the following problem.
1. Out of the 50 applicants to the College of
Engineering in a public university in Manila, 30
are from the provinces. If 15 applicants are to
be selected at random, find the probability
that 10 will be from the provinces.

traffic accidents occur per month. Find the
probability that in any given month, exactly 6
accidents will occur?
