RE: Hypergeometric Question



<< I don't know how others do it, but I always have the participants dump the beads back into the bowl after each draw of the paddle. Doesn't that constitute replacement? >>

No. "Sample with replacement" means that each of the fifty beads is sampled and replaced, one at a time, not as a batch.
Mark:
What is the source of the above definition of "Sample with replacement"? If the sample is large with respect to the total number of
beads, it will make a difference.
