RK

can you pls explanin "calculate the hypergeometric dist. probability with replacement " .....I don't know what exactly this means .....:roll:

8-)



Hi , Thats not it. This question is based on "without replacement". We need to find the probability without replacement.

I am sorry I was not clear the first time around. The method used by you is with replacement. With Replacement means the selected item is returned to the pool from which the cards are drawn from.

Any more takers ??


Dude I wouldn't lose sleep over this one. Not likely to be asked on the actual GMAT. Probability problems from even the difficult bin are quite straight forward.

I don't believe that is correct. With replacement, the answer would be:
C(13,6)(12/52)^6(40/52)^7.

I think what RK has proposed is the right solution. Do you have OA?
