Tables of the Hypergeometric Distribution Functions
Abstract
Tables and graphs based on the hypergeometric distribution are presented for use in determining the confidence interval of the sample estimate of the number of defectives in a finite population. Similarly, the sample size can be determined which would give a certain quality level as the lower bound for a selected confidence level. The hypergeometric distribution is particularly suited for small populations (less than 1,000) where a saving in the sample size is desired even at the expense of some loss in precision of the estimate. The tables of point and cumulative probabilities are tabulations of selected sample and population combinations. The selected sample sizes range from 4 to 40 and the population, from 50 to 1,000.
