I'm working on a problem related to Hyper Geometric
Distribution; I searched the forum and found a number of posts
related to it in this "advanced statistics" forum but wasn't
able to find a specific thread that helps.. Let's say I have a
standard playing card deck (52 cards) and am looking for the
odds of: In the first 15 cards I draw, finding at least 1 King
*and* at least 1 Queen. I'm using Excel rather than have to do
this by hand, so for finding a King in the first 15 cards, I
have: =1-(HYPGEOMDIST(0,15,4,52)) - which gives me ~75.6% 0 =
finding none 15 = sample 4 = successes 52 = population The odds
of finding BOTH in a 15 card sequence would be roughly 0.756
squared, or 57.16%, but obviously if I draw a King in the first
15 cards, that will decrease the odds of drawing a queen. Over a
small example like this one, the difference is probably
negligible, but I'd like to get an idea how to calculate this
for more precision on larger (and more important) problems. Any
help - either relating to how to solve
