GeoGebra
Here’s how you can use the Probability Calculator
in
GeoGebra
to compute probabilities from the hypergeometric distribution.

Instruction 1
- 1.
- Open
Probability Calculator
under
View
inMenu
. - 2.
- Make sure that you choose the
Distribution
tab at the top of the window. - 3.
- Select
Hypergeometric
from the drop-down list.-
Population
is the total population. -
the number of elements in group .
-
Sample
is the sample size, that is, the number of elements you draw.
-
- 4.
- Choose
Left-sided
,
Interval
,
Two tailed
, orRight-sided
depending on your problem.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting exactly elements from , you can find it in the table on the right-hand side.
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at least elements from , choose
Right-sided
and enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability of getting at most elements from , choose
Left-sided
and enter the value of .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of elements drawn from will be between and , including and , choose
Interval
and enter the values of and .
-
If you’re asked to compute the probability that the number of elements drawn from is not between and , choose
Two tailed
and enter the values and . Alternatively, you can compute the probability in the item above, and then take it and subtract it from 1.
