HYPGEOMDIST

Definition/Description of Formula:

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.

Syntax:

HYPGEOMDIST(x, n, M, N)

• x - The desired number of successes.
• n - The number of permitted draws.
• N - The total number of successes in the population.
• M - 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.
