1.Identify each of the following statements as either TRUE or FALSE.a) (Click for List) False True In a hypergeometric distribution, if M is the number of successes in the population, and N is the population size, then there are N+M failures in the population.b) (Click for List) False True In a hypergeometric distribution, the random variable X must be greater than or equal to 0.c) (Click for List) False True In a hypergeometric distribution, if x is the number of successes in a sample size of n, then n – x is the number of failures in the sample.d) (Click for List) True False The hypergeometric distribution depends on the population size, the sample size, and number of successes within the population.e) (Click for List) False True The maximum value the random variable X can take on in a hypergeometric distribution is M, the number of successes in the population.2.
