The hypergeometric random variable x counts the number of successes in the draw of 5 elements from a set of 12 elements containing 7 successes. The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are all possible values of $X$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypergeometric random variable $X$ can only take values from 0 to the minimum of the number of draws (5) and the number of successes in the population (7), so the possible values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
