Hypergeometric Distribution on Ti-nspire CAS?

Hi all,

I am currently working through some statistics for next years study design, and I was wondering if the Ti-Nspre CAS (or any CAS) has a function to calculate hypogeometric distributions? I know there's one for binomial distributions in the probability menu, but I can't see one for hypergeometric. Does anyone know if this function exists?

Thank you  ;D

I don't think it does - having said that, I am 99% sure that hypergeometric distributions are no more relevant next year than they are now, so I wouldn't worry about them too much if it's just for VCE purposes. (if it's for funsies, CAS is pretty useless past VCE, so I wouldn't worry about trying to find CAS functionality for it. :P)

Useless past VCE? If I didn't lose my CAS, I'd still be using it now to check my solutions to differential equations, invert matrices, confirm solutions to simultaneous equations etc :P
As a result, have to use Wolfram for that which isn't quite as convenient.

As for the OP, if you can't find it, you might just have to define a separate function as that distribution. You sure it's not in probability -> distributions? As above, I've lost my CAS so I can't confirm.

But Mathematica is so much better than the cas... I asked school last year if we could use it for the methods 3/4 exam because vcaa lets you (even got an email from the chief assessor saying it would be ok if school set it up correctly ), but they didn't approve, which sucks because I could have gotten several more marks if I could chuck the last pages functions inside a Manipulate []... The equivalent on the cas is slow and buggy.
