How many ways can you distribute 4 different balls among 5 different boxes?
+2407 For each ball, you have 5 different options.
First ball has 5 options, second ball has 5 options, third ball has 5 options, and fourth ball also has 5 options, 5*5*5*5 = 625.

+373 Hey there, Guest!
There are five choices for each ball: \(5^4\) = 625
Among these 625 distributions, there are 5 cases where the four balls reside in the same box because there are five boxes. So from 625, subtract 5 to count the required.
625 – 5 = 620.
Hope this helped! :)
