ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

Given,

Number of objects, $$N = 20$$

Objects classified as successes,$$ K = 4$$

The random variable X that equals the number of successes in the sample is a

hypergeometric random variable and the probability mass function is,

Where,$$ x = max\{0, n + K - N\}\ to\ min\ \{K,n\}$$
