Exact Confidence Bounds When Sampling from Small Finite Universes: An Easy Reference Based on the Hypergeometric Distribution

by Tommy Wright

There is a very simple and fundamental concept- to much of probability and statistics that can be conveyed using the following problem. PROBLEM. Assume a finite set (universe) of N units where A of the units have a particular attribute. The value of N is known while the value of A is unknown. If a proper subset (sample) of size n is selected randomly and a of the units in the subset are observed to have the particular attribute, what can be said about...
