We have two tasks here....choose the boxes....choose the b***s to go into those boxes...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 2 0

We have 3  ways to choose the first box......and we want to put 4 of the 6 b***s into it

3C(6,4)  = 45

Then, out of the remaning 2 boxes, we want to choose one of the two to put the remaining two b***s into

So 45 x 2 = 90

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 1 1

Agian we have 3 boxes to choose which 4 b***s out of 6 we put into it

So 3C(6,4)= 45 ways

And we have two ways to select the next box and two ways to select which ball goes into that box...

The last box and ball are defaulted

So we have

2C(2.,1) = 4 ways

So 45 x 4 = 180

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 3 0

3 ways to choose the first box......and we want to choose 3 of 6 b***s to put into it

3C(6,3) = 60 ways

Then, we have 2 ways to choose the next box to place the remaining three b***s into

So 2 x 60  = 120 ways

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 2 1

3 ways to choose the first box....choose 3 of 6 b***s to put into it   = 60 ways  

2 ways to select the next box and we want to choose 2 of the 3 remaining b***s to put into it

2C(3.2) = 6

Again, the last box and ball are defaulted

So   60 x 6 = 360 ways

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 2 2

3 ways to select the first box .... choose 2 of 6 b***s to go into it  = 3C(6,2) = 45

2 ways to pick the next box and choose 2 of the remaining 4 b***s to put into it

2C(4,2)  = 12

The last box and remaig two b***s are defaulted

So 45 x 12 = 540 ways

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, that's what I get......!!!

6 DIFFERENT B***S AND 3 DIFFERENT BOXES

 

THIS HAS BEEN EDITED

I BELIEVE CPHILL AND I ARE FINALLY IN TOTAL AGREEMENT

SO, THE PROBABILITY THAT IT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER HAS TO BE IMPROVED   (◐‿◑)

 

0,0,6        3*1 = 3            

0,1,5        3!*6= 36           

0,2,4        3!*6C2 = 6*15=90     

0,3,3       3!*6C3 = 6*20=120      

1,1,4       3!*6*5 = 180        

1,2,3       3!*6*5C2 = 6*6*10= 360   

2,2,2       3!*6C2*4C2 = 6*15*6=540   

 

$${\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{36}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{90}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{120}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{180}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{360}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{540}} = {\mathtt{1\,329}}$$

 

Which ones did we get different Chris?

 

I just checked - only 2 of the numbers are the same - all the others are different   LOL

Are you keen enough to check your or my answer again?  I am running out of steam and time for these questions.

My first answer was c**p....I'll try again

If the b***s and boxes are distinguishable

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can put all 6 b***s into any box.....there are 3 ways to do this....put them into the first box, the second box or the third box

So 3 ways in this arrangement

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can put 5 b***s into one box, 1 in another and 0 into the last

 But since the b***s are distinguishable, we can pick any 5 of the 6 to put into a box and we have 3 ways to choose that box. =  3C(6,5) = 18 ways

And we have 1 way to choose the next ball and 2 ways to select the next box = 2 ways

The last box is empty and determined by default

So 18 x 2 = 36 ways in this arrangement

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we can put 4 b***s into one box and 1 in each of the remaining two.

So we have 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to select any 4 of the 6 b***s to put into that box. So 3C(6,4) = 45 ways

And we have 2 ways to choose the next box and 2 ways to choose the next ball = 4 ways

And the final box and ball are determined by default

So 45 x 2 = 180 ways in this arrangement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we can select 3 b***s in one box, 2 into another and 1 in the last

We have 3 ways to select the first box and we want to choose 3 of the 6 b***s to put into that box......so we have 3C(6,3)  = 60 ways to do that

Then, we have 2 ways to choose the next box to put 2 of the remaining 3 b***s into....so this is  2C(3,2)  = 6 ways

Again the last ball and and box are determined by default

So the total ways here are  60 x 6 = 360 ways in this arrangement

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we can put 4 b***s into one box and two into another

We have 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to choose any 4 of the 6 b***s to put into this = 3C(6,4) = 45 ways

And we want to put the other two b***s into either of the remaining two boxes = 2 ways to do this

The last box is empty by default

So 45 x 2 = 90 ways in this arrangement

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we can put 3 b***s into one box and 3 into another

There are 3 ways to choose the first box and we want to choose 3 of the 6 b***s

So 3C(6,3) = 60 ways

And there are 2 ways to select the next box to put the remaining 3 b***s into = 2

The last box is empty by default

So 60 x 2 = 120 ways in this arrangement

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, we can put 2 b***s into every box

We have 3 ways to choose the frst box and we want to choose 2 of the 6 b***s to put into that box  3C(6,2)  = 45 ways

And then we have 2 ways to select the next box and we want to choose 2 of the remaining 4 b***s to put into this  = 2C(4,2) = 12 ways

The last 2 b***s and box remain by default.

So 45 x 12 = 540 ways

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, to recap

6 0 0 =  3 ways

5 1 0 = 36 ways

4 2 0 = 90 ways

4 1 1 = 180 ways

3 3 0 = 120 ways

3 2 1 = 360 ways

2 2 2 = 540 ways

So   3 + 36 + 90 + 180 + 120 + 360 + 540 = 1329 ways
