How many ways can you distribute 4 identical balls among 5 identical boxes?
Because both the balls and the boxes are indistingusable, we only have to account for each case once.
Here are the only possibilites:
4 in one basket and 0 in the rest.
3 in one basket and 1 in 1 of the remaining 4 baskets, with none in the rest
2 in one basket and 2 in another basket, with none in the rest
2 in one basket and 1 in another and 1 more in another basket, with none in the rest
1 in one basket and 3 in another, with none in the rest.
This accounts for a total of 5 ways.
