Introduction to Hypergeometric Distribution

What you’ll learn to do: calculate and understand hypergeometric probabilities

four people look at business papersSixteen people wish to be on a hiring committee. Ten of the people identify as men and six identify as women. The hiring committee will consist of four people. What is the probability that three of the four people that are randomly selected identify as men?
