Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the probability distribution is given by: X P(X) 0 1 2 3 4 Consider the example problem with the six white balls and the four black balls from which we select n = 4. Success = White Success = White Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the probability distribution is given by: X P(X) 0 1 2 3 4
Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the probability distribution is given by: X P(X) 0 .0256 1 .1536 2 .3456 3 .3456 4 .1296 Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the probability distribution is given by: X P(X) 0 .00476 1 .11429 2 .42857 3 .38095 4 .07143 Consider the example problem with the six white balls and the four black balls from which we select n = 4.

Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the expected value is given by: XP(X) 0 .0256 1 .1536 2 .3456 3 .3456 4 .1296 = 2.4 Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the expected value is given by: X P(X) 0 .00476 1 .11429 2 .42857 3 .38095 4 .07143 = 2.4 In the sample of 4 balls, what is the expected # of white balls?
Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the variance is given by: (X- )2P(X) (0-2.4)2 .0256 (1-2.4)2 .1536 (2-2.4)2 .3456 (3-2.4)2 .3456 (4-2.4)2 .1296 2 = .96 Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the variance is given by: (X- )2P(X) (0-2.4)2 .00476 (1-2.4)2 .11429 (2-2.4)2 .42857 (3-2.4)2 .38095 (4-2.4)2 .07143 2 = .64 In the sample of 4 balls, what is the variance of the number of white balls in the sample?
It is a lot of work to get the mean and the variance from the definition, but there is a much easier and faster way. Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the expected value is given by: XP(X) 0 .0256 1 .1536 2 .3456 3 .3456 4 .1296 = np = 4(.6) = 2.4 Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the expected value is given by: X P(X) 0 .00476 1 .11429 2 .42857 3 .38095 4 .07143 Let p = S/N and = np = 4(6/10) = 2.4
In the sample of 4 balls, what is the variance of the number of white balls in the sample? Sampling w/o replacement it is hypergeometric, and the variance is given by: (X- )2P(X) (0-2.4)2 .00476 (1-2.4)2 .11429 (2-2.4)2 .42857 (3-2.4)2 .38095 (4-2.4)2 .07143 Let p = S/N and 2 = np(1-p)(N-n)/(N-1) 2 = 4(.6)(1-.6)(10-4)/9 = .64 Sampling with replacement it is binomial, and the variance is given by: (X- )2P(X) (0-2.4)2 .0256 (1-2.4)2 .1536 (2-2.4)2 .3456 (3-2.4)2 .3456 (4-2.4)2 .1296 2 = np(1-p) = 4(.6)(1-.6) = .96
Mean and Variance Poisson
For the Poisson problems λ= = E(X) = mean and λ= σ2= E(X-)2 = variance
