Hypergeometric Distribution · Exercise 5
Suppose that a group of statistics students is divided into two groups: business majors and non-business majors. There are 16 business majors in the group and seven non-business majors in the group. A random sample of nine students is taken. We are interested in the number of business majors in the sample.
On average (μ), how many would you expect to be business majors?
