stats_dens_pmf_hypergeometric

(PECL stats >= 1.0.0)

stats_dens_pmf_hypergeometricProbability mass function of the hypergeometric distribution

Description

stats_dens_pmf_hypergeometric(
    float $n1,
    float $n2,
    float $N1,
    float $N2
): float

Returns the probability mass at n1, where the random variable follows the hypergeometric distribution of which the number of failure is n2, the number of success samples is N1, and the number of failure samples is N2.

Liste de paramètres

n1

The number of success, at which the probability mass is calculated

n2

The number of failure of the distribution

N1

The number of success samples of the distribution

N2

The number of failure samples of the distribution

Valeurs de retour

The probability mass at n1 or false for failure.

You can use this method to work out lottery odds:

/**
* N is the population size OR total balls in the lottery draw
* K is the number of success states in the population OR the number of correct balls drawn from the pool
* n is the number of draws OR the number of times we draw from the pool to get the winning numbers.
*/

$N = 49; //Total balls in the pool
$K = 1; //Successful matches to win

$method = new Hypergeometric($N, $K, $K);
$odds = $method->pmf($K);
       
return 1/$odds;

//Will return 49
