The “rhyper” Function in R

  • Package: Base R (no specific package required)

  • Purpose: Generates random numbers from a hypergeometric distribution.

  • General Class: Random Number Generation

  • Required Argument(s):

    • nn: The number of random values to generate.

    • m: The number of white balls in the urn.

    • n: The number of black balls in the urn.

    • k: The number of balls drawn from the urn.

  • Notable Optional Arguments:

    • None.

  • Example:

  • # Generate 100 random values from a hypergeometric distribution
    random_values <- rhyper(nn = 100, m = 20, n = 30, k = 10)
    print(random_values)

  • The rhyper function generates 100 random values from a hypergeometric distribution. The urn has 20 white balls and 30 black balls, and a sample of size 10 is drawn from the urn. The generated values are then printed to the console.
