It took me by surprise to find that choose(4,5) delivers [1] NaN Warning message: NaNs produced in: choose(n, k) If we look at choose(4,5) as the number of ways of choosing 5 objects from 4 I would have expected 0 as result. Furthermore dhyper(5,4,6,5) does deliver 0 and this essentially equivalent to choose(4,5)*choose(6,0)/choose(10,5).
