- 1992, Norman Lloyd Johnson, Samuel Kotz, Adrienne W. Kemp, Univariate Discrete Distributions, page 67:
  Computer generation of classical hypergeometric random variables has been discussed in detail by Kachitvichyanukul and Schmeiser (1985).
- 2005, Martin Buntinas, Gerald Marlowe Funk, Statistics for the Sciences, page xv:
  Chapter 6 introduces testing of hypotheses immediately after the study of binomial and hypergeometric random variables.
- 2007, Purna Chandra Biswal, Probability and Statistics, India: Prentice-Hall, published 2008, page 87:
  If $\textstyle X$ is a hypergeometric random variable, then the variance is $\textstyle Var(X)=\left({\frac {M}{N}}\right)n\left(1-{\frac {M}{N}}\right)\left(1-{\frac {n-1}{N-1}}\right)$ .
- 2017, Sheldon M. Ross, Introductory Statistics‎, Elsevier (Academic Press), page 250:
  Thus, whereas the expected value of the hypergeometric random variable with parameters n, N, p is the same as that of the binomial random variable with parameters n, p, its variance is smaller than that of the binomial by the factor (N − n)/(N − 1).
