We are given n distinct balls and m distinct boxes. m and n are non-negative integers. Every ball must be placed into a box, but not every box must have a ball in it. Each box can hold any number of balls. Let's also assume that the order in which we put the balls into the boxes does matter. (Ex: assume we have 2 balls, a and b, and 3 boxes, 1 2 and 3. two distinct distributions would be box 1 having a and b, and box 1 having b and a). How many ways are there to distribute the n balls into the m boxes?

We randomly place 200 balls independently in 100 boxes in the most natural uniform way. That is, each ball is placed independently from the rest of the balls in such a way that the probability to put it into the i-th box is one-percent (1 ≤ i ≤ 100). Let X denote the number of empty boxes at the end. What is the expected value of X? I also want the numerical value.

A box contains 20 different balls numbered from 1 to 20 (different balls have different numbers). At each step, we select a ball uniformly at random, record the number on it, and put it back in the box. This experiment is repeated 10 times. Find the probability that all the numbers recorded were distinct. (2010)2010 (2010)⋅10!2010 10202010 10102010 None of the above. We select four distinct integers from the set {1,2,…,20}, uniformly at random (all quadruples of distinct integers are...

A magic bag contains infinitely many balls labeled 1 to n with each ball being equally likely to be drawn from the bag. There are also n boxes labeled 1 to n. Suppose you fill the boxes by choosing a random ball from the magic bag. A match occurs when the ball labeled i is placed in the box labeled i. For an arbitrary k in {0,1,...,n} what is the probability that you have k matches? What is the probability...

1a. Given an array a of n distinct integers, a[i] = m is a local minimum of a iff a[i − 1] > m and a[i + 1] < m. Suppose that n ≥ 3, a[0] > a[1], and a[n − 2] < a[n − 1]. Explain why these “end point” conditions guarantee that a has a local minimum. Hint: argue by way of contradiction. (10 points) 1b. Assuming that a satisfies the conditions described in part a, clearly and...
