  • In how many ways can we split $6$ toys such that John will receive $2$, Carl and Michael will receive at least one toy?




I'll be using combinations in this case. Let us see how many ways there are to split $6$ boys as seen below



$$binom{6}{2}$$



This represents that John will receive any $2$ toys among $6$ toys. From remaining toys, we can conclude that



$$binom{4}{1}binom{3}{1}$$



We've found the case that Michael and Carl receives only one toy. Now we have to consider that they will receive $2$ toys since it says at least.



$$binom{6}{2}binom{4}{2}binom{2}{2}$$



Finally, I'm combining all these results and we have that



$$binom{6}{2}binom{4}{2}binom{2}{2} + binom{6}{2}binom{4}{1}binom{3}{1} = 90 + 180 = 270$$



I've gone wrong somewhere. Could you assist me with that?

    Both Michael and Carl can't get 1 toy each, because then you'd only end up distributing 4 toys, not 6

Since John receives two toys and Carl and Michael each receive at least one toy, the possible distributions are $(2, 1, 3)$, $(2, 2, 2)$, and $(2, 1, 3)$, where the ordered triple $(J, C, M)$ represents the number of toys received by John, Carl, and Michael, respectively.



If John receives $J = 2$ of the six toys and Carl receives exactly $C$ of the remaining four toys, then Michael will receive all of the remaining $M = 4 - C$ toys. Hence, the number of ways of distributing the toys so that John receives two of the six toys and John and Carl each receive at least one is
$$binom{6}{2}binom{4}{1}binom{3}{3} + binom{6}{2}binom{4}{2}binom{2}{2} + binom{6}{2}binom{4}{3}binom{1}{1}$$

    John get 2, that is ${6choose 2}$.



    Now from the rest of 4 Carl gets:



    $1$ toy, that is ${4choose 1}$ way or



    $3$ toys, that is ${4choose 3}$ ways or



    $2$ toys, that is ${4choose 2}$ ways. So the number of all distributions is $${6choose 2}Big( {4choose 1}+ {4choose 2} + {4choose 3}Big)$$.

                      0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
