In how many ways can I distribute 6 identical gummy bears and 6 identical chocolates to 4 students, if each student must receive at least 1 of each type of candy?
By stars and bars, the number of ways is C(6,4)*C(6,4) = 225.
thats wrong.
Try this: [6 - 1] C [4 - 1] = 5 C 3 =10 ways for gummy bears.
[6 - 1] C [4 - 1] =5 C 3 =10 ways for chocolates
So, total number of ways = 10 x 10 = 100 ways ?
thats also wrong
