Abstract
The inverse sampling (due to Haldane, 1945) was proposed for random sampling with replacement draws when “the numberr of successes in the sample until the process of drawing is stopped” is prefixed. In this paper an extension of that result is proposed when the draws are obtained via random sampling without replacement.
