HYPGEOMDIST Function
The HYPGEOMDIST function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the hypergeometric distribution, the probability of a given number of sample successes, given the sample size, population successes, and population size.
The HYPGEOMDIST function syntax is:
HYPGEOMDIST(sample-successes , number-sample , population-successes , number-population)
where
sample-successes is the number of the successes in the given sample, a numeric value greater than 0, but less than the lesser of number-sample or population-successes.
number-sample - the size of the sample, a numeric value greater than 0, but less than number-population.
population-successes - the number of the successes in the population, a numeric value greater than 0, but less than number-population.
number-population - the size of the population, a numeric value greater than 0.
The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.
To apply the HYPGEOMDIST function,

icon situated at the top toolbar,
or right-click within a selected cell and select the Insert Function option from the menu,
or click the
icon situated at the formula bar,
