  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    The Dirac comb of period 2 π, although not strictly a function, is a limiting form of many directional distributions. It is essentially a wrapped Dirac delta function. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 2 π n — a degenerate distribution — but the notation treats it as if it were a continuous distribution.

  6. Vandermonde's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandermonde's_identity

    The resulting probability distribution is the hypergeometric distribution. That is the probability distribution of the number of red marbles in r draws without replacement from an urn containing n red and m blue marbles.

  7. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution with parameters n and p is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments, each asking a yes–no question, and each with its own Boolean-valued outcome: success (with probability p) or failure (with probability q = 1 − p).

  8. 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 ...

  9. Urn problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urn_problem

    binomial distribution: the distribution of the number of successful draws (trials), i.e. extraction of white balls, given n draws with replacement in an urn with black and white balls. [3] Hoppe urn: a Pólya urn with an additional ball called the mutator. When the mutator is drawn it is replaced along with an additional ball of an entirely new ...
