Abstract
The negative hypergeometric probability distribution is defined and it s relationship to the inverse hypergeometric probability distribution is clarified. A FORTRAN program is described which computes negative h ypergeometric probability values and, for a specified probability, the minimum sample size needed to attain a given number of successes.
