This will be my probability thread

1) Permutation Question
2) A selection problems
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/probability_29
3) Not very hard
4) What is the probabiliy that a rook (castle) and a bishop will threaten each other on a chess board ?
5) Poker
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_probability
6,7) kids in a circle
8) distinct paths from one corner of a square to the other. :/
9) B***s in boxes
10) lollies and lunchboxes
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/i-really-need-help-please-i-have-no-idea-how-to-do-it-sorry
11) Using poisson distribution.
12) counting chord cuts in a circle
13) Probability - coloured cards
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/probability-of-a-deck-of-red-and-blue-cards
14) counting steps in a grid - :)
15) Car number plates with a twist problem
16) Cars in a carpark
17) b***s in a box
18) Cards
19) I am not sure what this is, some kind of probability. :/
20) Statistics with zscore BUT Binomial Distribution.
21) How many ways can you pair an even number of people off. And other scenarios too.
22) How many ways can N peripherals be attached to k computers if every peripheral must be attached to exactly one computer and and every computer must be attached to at least one periferal.
So ther must be at least as many computers as peripherals k≥N
I believe that this is the formula that Nauseated presented us with
N−1∑i=0∗(−1)i∗(Ni)∗(N−i)k

The subfactorial or left factorial, written, is the number of ways that n objects can be arranged where no object appears in its natural position (known as "derangements.")
