- Function HyperGeometric(ProbabilityOfSuccess, NumberOfTries, PopulationSize)¶
HyperGeometric¶
The function HyperGeometric
draws a random value from a
hypergeometric distribution.
HyperGeometric(
ProbabilityOfSuccess, ! (input) numerical expression
NumberOfTries, ! (input) integer expression
PopulationSize ! (input) integer expression
)
Arguments¶
- ProbabilityOfSuccess
A scalar numerical expression in the range \((0,1)\).
- NumberOfTries
A integer numerical expression in the range \(1,\dots,{PopulationSize}\).
- PopulationSize
A integer numerical expression \(> 0\).
Return Value¶
The function
HyperGeometric
returns a random value drawn from a hypergeometric distribution with a probability of success ProbabilityOfSuccess, number of tries NumberOfTries and population size PopulationSize.
Note
The probability of success ProbabilityOfSuccess must assume one of the values \(i/{size}\), where \(i\) is in the range \(1,\dots,{PopulationSize}-1\).
