Hypergeometric Distribution · Exercise 10
A bridge hand is defined as 13 cards selected at random and without replacement from a deck of 52 cards. In a standard deck of cards, there are 13 cards from each suit: hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds. What is the probability of being dealt a hand that does not contain a heart?
(a) What is the group of interest?
(b) How many are in the group of interest?
(c) How many are in the other group?
(d) Let X = _________. What values does X take on?
(e) The probability question is P(_______).
(f) Find the probability in question.
(g) Find the (i) mean and (ii) standard deviation of X.
