Answer:

P(x=2) = 0.2368

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

stocks of local interest N = 20

stocks increased K = 10

stocks decreased =  5

remained unchanged = 5

solution

we take here no of stock that are increased randomly n = 2

so here Hypergeometric random variable can take integer value

{max(0, n+k - N ), min(n,K) } = {0,2}

so here

P(x=2)

so

P(x=k)  = \frac{(^K_k)\times (^{N-K}_{n-k}) }{(^N_n)}      .......................1

P(x=2 ) = \frac{(^{10}_2)\times (^{20-10}_{2-2}) }{(^{20}_2)}    

solve it we get

P(x=2 ) = 0.236842

now we use excel function as

HYPGEOM.DIST (k,n,N.cumulative)   .....................2

so it will be

HYPGEOM.DIST (2,2,10,,false)

we get

HYPGEOM.DIST (2,2,10,,false)  = 0.236842

so

P(x=2) = 0.2368
