Calculates the probability of drawing a certain number of successes in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, without replacement of draws.

Sample Usage

HYPGEOMDIST(4,12,20,40)

HYPGEOMDIST(A2,A3,A4,A5)

Syntax

HYPGEOMDIST(num_successes, num_draws, successes_in_pop, pop_size)

  • num_successes - The desired number of successes.
  • num_draws - The number of permitted draws.
  • successes_in_pop - The total number of successes in the population.
  • pop_size - The total size of the population

Notes

  • BINOMDIST describes the probability of drawing a certain number of successes in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, with replacement of draws.
