Hi
I went through the guide and really is fantastic, great work!!!
I do have some doubt on one of the questions and the solution posted
Q.
There are 2 green, 3 red, and 2 blue balls in a box. 4 are drawn at random without replacement. What is the probability that of the 4 drawn balls two are red, 1 is green, and 1 is blue? (Hypergeometric Distribution)
Answer Posted:
The HD formula is:
p = aCa' * bCb' * cCc' * ... * zCz' / (a+b+c+..+z)C(a'+b'+c'+...+z')
where a, b, ... z are show how many times the outcome was obtained in each sub-event, and a', b', ... z' show how many times the corresponding sub-event was tested. nCk stands for combinations formula.
Let us again apply it to the example given in the text above: we have 3 ball colors, or 3 sub-events: g for green, r for red, b for blue. We know that:
g' = 2
r' = 3
b' = 2
g = 1
r = 2
b = 1
Now, let's do the calculations:
