To find the probability of x successes in n trials when the trials are dependent, we use the hypergeometric probability function.

The hypergeometric probability function is given by


f(x)=\frac{\binom{r}{x}\cdot\binom{N-r}{n-x}}{\binom{N}{n}}

Where N is the number of elements in the population and r is the number of trials labeled as success.

n is the number of trials, x is the number of successes.

Therefore, the correct answer is the hypergeometric probability function.
