HypergeometricDistribution

Description

This class models the hypergeometric distribution with specified parameters. This is the distribution that governs the number of type 1 objects in a sample of size n chosen without replacement from a population of size m with r type 1 objects. The class inherits methods from the parent Distribution class for computing the mean, variance, moments, distribution function, quantile function, generating function, and simulated value. Some of these methods are overridden to implement closed formulas or better algorithms. This object is used, for example, in the ball and urn experiment.
