16.4 Hypergeometric distribution
16.4.1 Probability mass function
If \(a \in \mathbb{N}\), \(b \in \mathbb{N}\), and \(N \in \{0,\ldots,a+b\}\), then for \(n \in \{\max(0,N-b),\ldots,\min(a,N)\}\), \[ \text{Hypergeometric}(n~|~N,a,b) = \frac{\normalsize{\binom{a}{n} \binom{b}{N - n}}} {\normalsize{\binom{a + b}{N}}}. \]
16.4.2 Sampling statement
