I have a question about calculating the hypergeometric test.
I have two sets of random names and a number that shows the overlap:
the number of names in set A: 488
the number of names in set B: 312
the number of overlap between the two sets: 16
I want to calculate if the number of overlap between the two sets is significant or is by chance?
How can I perform this by having ONLY three values as input?
Thank you.

Firstly, please avoid cross-posting the same questions on several platforms (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69142468/hypergeometric-distribution-by-phyper/69143616#69143616).
Secondly, to do such enrichment test, there is no need to implement it yourself; check out RVenn::enrichment_test (https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/RVenn/versions/1.1.0/topics/enrichment_test). It implements a bootstrap-based hypergeometric test. However, be careful defining the universe (the complete set from which setA and setB were chosen from).
