Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the binomial distribution, the probability of success remains constant from trial to trial, whereas in the hypergeometric distribution the probability of success changes if sampling without replacement from a finite population. The other options listed (A, C, and D) are not applicable to the key difference between the two distributions.
