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.
