  2. Negative hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hypergeometric...

    In probability theory and statistics, the negative hypergeometric distribution describes probabilities for when sampling from a finite population without replacement in which each sample can be classified into two mutually exclusive categories like Pass/Fail or Employed/Unemployed. As random selections are made from the population, each ...

  3. Hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of successes (random draws for which the object drawn has a specified feature) in draws, without replacement, from a finite population of size that contains exactly objects with that feature, wherein each draw is either a success or a failure.

  4. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 0 — a degenerate distribution — it is a Distribution (mathematics) in the generalized function sense; but the notation treats it as if it ...

  5. Noncentral hypergeometric distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_hypergeometric...

    In statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is the discrete probability distribution generated by picking colored balls at random from an urn without replacement.. Various generalizations to this distribution exist for cases where the picking of colored balls is biased so that balls of one color are more likely to be picked than balls of another color.

  6. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size n drawn with replacement from a population of size N. If the sampling is carried out without replacement, the draws are not independent and so the resulting distribution is a hypergeometric distribution, not a binomial one.

  7. Simple random sample - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_random_sample

    Sampling done without replacement is no longer independent, but still satisfies exchangeability, hence most results of mathematical statistics still hold. Further, for a small sample from a large population, sampling without replacement is approximately the same as sampling with replacement, since the probability of choosing the same individual ...

  8. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    Example: To find 0.69, one would look down the rows to find 0.6 and then across the columns to 0.09 which would yield a probability of 0.25490 for a cumulative from mean table or 0.75490 from a cumulative table. To find a negative value such as –0.83, one could use a cumulative table for negative z-values [3] which yield a probability of 0.20327.

  9. Multinomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_distribution

    Technically speaking this is sampling without replacement, so the correct distribution is the multivariate hypergeometric distribution, but the distributions converge as the population grows large in comparison to a fixed sample size [1]. (=, =, =) =!!!!
