摘要

An urn contains a known number of balls of two different colors. We describe the random variable counting the smallest number of draws needed in order to observe at least \(\,c\,\) c of both colors when sampling without replacement for a prespecified, positive integer value of \(\,c\) c . This distribution is the finite sample analogy to the maximum negative binomial distribution described by Zhang et al. [14]. We describe the modes, approximating distributions, and estimation of the contents of the urn. This distribution is used to estimate the sample size for planning a stratified clinical trial.
