Suppose I throw 10 balls into 5 bins labeled A,B,C,D,E uniformly at random. Call a pair of bins special if they are labeled with adjacent letters (i.e., the pairs AB,BC, CD, DE are special). The expected number of special pairs of bins which are both empty is

Respuesta :

The anticipated proportion of special bin pairs with empty bins is 216.

Let us consider four different cases to understand this problem:

Case I: The number of distribution methods is when no box is left unfilled.

10−1C5−1=9C4=126

Case II: One box alone is empty.

Number of ways = distribution of 10 things among the remaining 4 boxes and selection of one empty box.

5C1*9C3=420

Case iii: Only two are still vacant.

Distribution of 10 objects in remaining boxes = (selection of any two boxes two nearby) * number of ways = selection of two empty but not consecutive boxes.

9C2 =((5)C2−4) * 9C2 =6×36=216

Case IV: Three empty, exactly.

If there are no two adjacent empty boxes, there is only one method to choose three.

The variety of ways 1* 9C1=9

So, the total number of ways is 126 + 420 + 216 + 9 = 771.
