The Hypergeometric distribution is a probability distribution that describes the likelihood of a certain number of successes in a sequence of draws from a finite population without replacement. It is particularly useful in scenarios where you are interested in sampling a small number of items from a larger group without putting them back into the group after each draw. ### Parameters of the Hypergeometric Distribution The Hypergeometric distribution is defined by the following parameters: 1. **N**: The population size (the total number of items).
