The document discusses approximating the hypergeometric distribution to the binomial distribution. It provides two examples: (1) calculating the probability of selecting 7 male voters out of a random sample of 10 voters drawn from a population with 1000 female and 4000 male voters, and (2) calculating the probability of selecting 4 red balls from a random sample of 6 balls drawn from an urn containing 1000 red and 500 yellow balls. Both examples show setting up the binomial probability formula using the sample size, probability of success, and number of successes, and solving to find the desired probability.
