Using a hypergeometric distribution, calculate the Probability that if you choose 10 items out of 80 with a success count of 32,
you will get 4 items of the success count.

The hypergeometric probability is listed below:

P(x;n,N,k) =	(kCx) * (N - kCn - x)
	NCn

Calculate the variance σ2

σ2 =	nk(N - k)(N - n)
	N2(N - 1)

σ2 =	(10)(32)(80 - 32)(80 - 10)

σ2 = 2.1266

Calculate the standard deviation σ:
σ = √σ2
σ = √2.1266
σ = 1.4583

What is the Answer?

P(4;10,80,32) = 0.268
