This is the probability of obtaining not more than x marked items when randomly drawing a sample of size n without replacement from a population of total size t containing m marked items. Further to colins answer, goodness of fit for uniform distribution can be calculated using a pearsons chisquared test.
In studying the transformation of random variables in all of statistics and working on a few related exercises ive been in search of bigger picture motivation and a very cool result finally clicked. Discrete uniform, uniform distribution discrete, n maximum observable value. The usual justification for using the normal distribution for modeling is the central limit theorem, which states roughly that the sum of independent samples from any distribution with finite mean and variance converges to the normal distribution. The uniform distribution also called the rectangular distribution is notable because it has a constant probability distribution function between its two bounding parameters.
