There are five characteristics of a hypergeometric experiment.
You take samples from
two groups.
You are concerned with a group of interest, called the first group.
You sample
without replacement from the combined groups (known as the population). For example, you want to choose a softball team from a combined group of 11 men and 13 women (population of 24). The team consists of ten players.
Each pick is
not independent, since sampling is without replacement. In the softball example, the probability of picking a woman first is
. The probability of picking a man second is
if a woman was picked first. It is
if a man was picked first. The probability of the second pick depends on what happened in the first pick.
You are
not dealing with Bernoulli Trials.
The outcomes of a hypergeometric experiment fit a
hypergeometric probability distribution. The random variable
X = the number of items from the group of interest.
A candy dish contains 100 jelly beans and 80 gumdrops. Fifty candies are picked at random. What is the probability that 35 of the 50 are gumdrops? The two groups are jelly beans and gumdrops. Since the probability question asks for the probability of picking gumdrops, the group of interest (first group) is gumdrops. The size of the group of interest (first group) is 80. The size of the second group is 100. The size of the sample is 50 (jelly beans or gumdrops). Let
X = the number of gumdrops in the sample of 50.
X takes on the values
x = 0, 1, 2, ..., 50. What is the probability statement written mathematically?
P (
X = 35)

A bag contains letter tiles. Forty-four of the tiles are vowels, and 56 are consonants. Seven tiles are picked at random. You want to know the probability that four of the seven tiles are vowels. What is the group of interest, the size of the group of interest, the size of the sample and the size of the population?
The group of interest is the vowel letter tiles. The size of the group of interest is 44. The size of the sample is seven. The size of the population is 100.
Suppose a shipment of 100 DVD players is known to have ten defective players. An inspector randomly chooses 12 for inspection. He is interested in determining the probability that, among the 12 players, at most two are defective. The two groups are the 90 non-defective DVD players and the 10 defective DVD players. The group of interest (first group) is the defective group because the probability question asks for the probability of at most two defective DVD players. The size of the sample is 12 DVD players. (They may be non-defective or defective.) Let
X = the number of defective DVD players in the sample of 12.
X takes on the values 0, 1, 2, ..., 10.
X may not take on the values 11 or 12. The sample size is 12, but there are only 10 defective DVD players. Write the probability statement mathematically.
P (
X ≤ 2)

A gross of eggs contains 144 eggs. A particular gross is known to have 12 cracked eggs. An inspector randomly chooses 15 for inspection. She wants to know the probability that, among the 15, at most three are cracked. What is
X , and what values does it take on?
Let
X = the number of cracked eggs in the sample of 15.
X takes on the values 0, 1, 2, …, 12.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
