Distribute 13 indistinguishable balls in 6 distinguishable urns.
What is the number of distributions in which the first three cells
contain together AT LEAST 10 balls?
What would be the answer if the balls were distinguishable?
Consider two urns of balls: the first contains 5 different red
balls numbered from 1 to 5 and the second contains 4 different blue
balls numbered from 1 to 4. You are asked to pick one ball from the
first urn (i.e., the one with red balls) and one ball from the
second urn (i.e., the one with blue balls). Each outcome has the
form (r, b), where r denotes the number on the red ball and b
denotes the...
4. How many different ways can you put 8 balls in 8 boxes A1, .
. . , A8
if (a) the balls are all different and no box is empty 8!
(b) the balls are all different and only three boxes A1, A2 and
A3 are empty
(c) the balls are all different and exactly four boxes are
empty
(d) the balls are all different and each box is either empty or
contains exactly two balls
(e) the balls...
This is a Combinatorics Problem
Consider the problem of finding the number of ways to distribute
7 identical pieces of candy to 3 children so that no
child gets more than 4 pieces. Except Stanley (one of the 3
children) has had too much candy already, so he’s only
allowed up to 2 pieces. Write a generating function & use your
generating function to solve this problem.
in how many ways can you distribute 13 identical
pieces of candy to 5 children, if two of the children are twins and
must get an equal number of pieces and every child must receive at
least one piece?
