Question

Identify each of the following statements as either TRUE or FALSE.

a)     FalseTrueClick for List   In a hypergeometric distribution, the trials are independent of each other.

b)     TrueFalseClick for List   In a hypergeometric distribution, if x is the number of successes in a sample size of n, then n - x is the number of failures in the sample.

c)     FalseTrueClick for List   If X is a hypergeometric random variable, then X can take on n different values.

d)     TrueFalseClick for List   In a hypergeometric distribution, if M is the number of success in the population, and x is the number of successes in the sample, then x must be strictly less than M.

e)     FalseTrueClick for List   The hypergeometric distribution depends on the population size, the sample size, and number of successes within the population.

Answer 1

c) If X is a hypergeometric random variable, then X can take on n different values.(True)

d) In a hypergeometric distribution, if M is the number of success in the population, and x is the number of successes in the sample, then x must be strictly less than M.(True)

e)The hypergeometric distribution depends on the population size, the sample size, and number of successes within the population.(True)
