Question in Content created by Newcastle University
Three parts. A sample of size $n$ is taken from $N$ where $k$ of the items are known to be defective and the task is to find the probability that more than $m$ defectives are in the sample. First part is sampling with replacement (binomial), second is sampling without replacement, (hypergeometric) and the last part uses the Poisson approximation to the first part.
