Determine Whether a Probability Experiment is a Hypergeometric Experiment
-Of the 3800 students at a college, 280 are mature students. 50 students are selected at random from the 3800 students at the college and asked to participate in a survey. The questions in the survey relate to the student's need for financial assistance. The random variable $X$ represents the number of mature students in the sample.

• A) hypergeometric; \(\mathrm { N } = 3800 , \mathrm { n } = 50 , \mathrm { k } = 280 , \mathrm { x } = 0,1,2 , \ldots , 50\)
• B) hypergeometric; \(\mathrm { N } = 3800 , \mathrm { n } = 280 , \mathrm { k } = 50 , \mathrm { x } = 0,1,2 , \ldots , 50\)
• C) hypergeometric; \(\mathrm { N } = 3800 , \mathrm { n } = 50 , \mathrm { k } = 280 , \mathrm { x } = 0,1,2 , \ldots , 280\)
• D) not hypergeometric 2 Compute the Probabilities of Hypergeometric Experiments
