Abstract
In this paper, we consider simple random sampling without replacement from a dichotomous finite population and derive a necessary and sufficient condition on the finite population parameters for a valid large sample Normal approximation to Hypergeometric probabilities. We then obtain lower and upper bounds on the difference between the Normal and the Hypergeometric distributions solely under this necessary and sufficient condition.
