Question:

This exercise extends the hypergeometric distribution to multiple variables. Consider a population with N items of k different types. Assume that there are N1items of type 1, N2items of type 2,€¦, Nkitems of type k so that N1+ N2+ €¦ + €¦ Nk= N. Suppose that a random sample of size n is selected, without replacement, from the population. Let X1, X2,€¦, Xkdenote the number of items of each type in the sample so that X1+ X2, + €¦ + €¦ + Xk= n. Show that for feasible values of n, x1, x2, €¦, xk, N1, N2, €¦, Nk, the probability is

NE X1 P (X, = x,, X, = x,.., X, = x,) = C) X2 х,
