+# Sampling and Distributions
+
+**Population** - set of all eligible members  
+**Sample** - subset of population, may be representative of population  
+**Random sample** - every element of population has equal chance of selection  
+**Population proportion $p$** - proportion of individuals in population with an attribute  
+**Sample proportion $\^p$** -
+**Discrete random variable** - countable number of distinct values
+
+$$\sum \Pr(n)=1$$
+
+### Hypergeometric distribution
+
+$$\Pr(X=x) = {{{\begin{Bmatrix}
+  D \\
+  x \\
+  \end{Bmatrix}}\begin{Bmatrix} {N-D} \\ {n-x} \end{Bmatrix} }\over\begin{Bmatrix}N \\ n \end{Bmatrix}}$$
+
+
+### Generating random numbers
+Catalog -> `rand(a,b)` generates a random number between $a$ and $b$  
+`randlist(n,a,b)` generates $n$ random numbers between $a$ and $b$
+
+### Combinations
+
+CAS: Advanced -> `nCr(n,r)` $= ^nC_r$
+
+### Binomial distributions
+
+with replacement.
+
+probability of achieving $x$ successes in $n$ trials for random variable $X$:
+
+$$\Pr(X=x)=\begin{Bmatrix} n \\ x \end{Bmatrix} p^x (1-p)^{n-x} \quad \text{for }x = 0,1,2, \dots, n$$
+
+where $p$ = probability of success on each trial
+
+#### on CAS:
+
+`randBin(sample size, p^, no of samples)`
