The hypergeometric probability distribution is used rather than the binomial or Poisson when the sampling is performed ?
Correct answer: C. With out replacement from a finite population
- A. With replacement
- B. With out replacement from an infinite population
- C. With out replacement from a finite population
- D. With replacement from a finite population
Explanation
The hypergeometric distribution applies when draws are made without replacement from a finite population, so the success probability changes after each draw. With replacement, trials remain independent and binomial modelling is appropriate.
