94. Let N be a hypergeometric random variable having the distribution of the number of white balls in a random sample of size r from a set of w white and b blue balls. That is,
where we use the convention thatI mage if eitherI mage orI mage. Now, consider a compound random variableI mage, where the are positive integer valued random variables withI mage.
(a) With M as defined as in Section 3.7, find the distribution of .
(b) Suppressing its dependence on
b, let Image, and derive a recursion equation for Image.
(c) Use the recursion of
(b) to find .
