Given that x is a hypergeometric random variable with N = 9, n = 3, and r = 5, compute the standard deviation of x.
A) .745
B) .556
C) .208
D) .456

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard deviation of a hypergeometric distribution is calculated using the formula: sqrt(n * (r/N) * ((N-r)/N) * ((N-n)/(N-1))). Plugging in the values N = 9, n = 3, and r = 5, we get the standard deviation as approximately 0.745.
