21## Compute the probability density function (PDF) at @var{x} of the
22## hypergeometric distribution with parameters @var{m}, @var{t}, and
23## @var{n}. This is the probability of obtaining @var{x} marked items
24## when randomly drawing a sample of size @var{n} without replacement
25## from a population of total size @var{t} containing @var{m} marked items.
27## The arguments must be of common size or scalar.
