Mathematics Homework Help. Probability that The Total Number of Balls in Bucket 1 Andbucket 2 Is 4 Questions
Ten empty buckets are lined up in a row. Each bucket is labelled. A set of n balls are
randomly thrown one after the other into the buckets.
• What is the expected number of throws that are necessary until two buckets have at least one ball in
them? For example, if the first ball landed in bucket 1, and the second ball landed in bucket 2, then
it only took me 2 throws. If the first ball landed in bucket 1 and the second ball landed in bucket 1,
and the third ball landed in bucket 4, then it took me 3 throws.
