Hypergeometric Distribution Calculator in GeoGebra

Here’s how you can use the Probability Calculator in GeoGebra to compute probabilities from the hypergeometric distribution.

GeoGebra Instruction 1

1.

Open Probability Calculator

under

View in

Menu.

2.

Make sure that you choose the Distribution tab at the top of the window.

3.

Select Hypergeometric from the drop-down list.

4.

Choose Left-sided

, Interval

, Two tailed, or Right-sided

depending on your problem.

If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting exactly $k$ elements from $A$ , you can find it in the table on the right-hand side.
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at least $k$ elements from $A$ , choose Right-sided and enter the value of $k$ .
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at most $k$ elements from $A$ , choose Left-sided and enter the value of $k$ .
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of elements drawn from $A$ will be between $N$ and $M$ , including $N$ and $M$ , choose Interval and enter the values of $N$ and $M$ .
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of elements drawn from $A$ is not between $N$ and $M$ , choose Two tailed and enter the values $N - 1$ and $M + 1$ . Alternatively, you can compute the probability in the item above, and then take it and subtract it from 1.
