The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Statement 1: **Six different balls are put in three different boxes, no box being empty, the probability of putting balls in boxes in equal numbers is `1/6`.** 1. **Total Ways to Distribute Balls:** We need to find the total number of ways to distribute 6 different balls into 3 different boxes such that no box is empty. We can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion or directly calculate the distributions. - The valid distributions of 6 balls into 3 boxes where no box is empty can be: - (4, 1, 1) - (3, 2, 1) - (2, 2, 2) 2. **Calculating Each Distribution:** - For (4, 1, 1): - Choose 4 balls from 6: \( \binom{6}{4} = 15 \) - The arrangement of (4, 1, 1) can be done in \( \frac{3!}{1!1!1!} = 3 \) ways. - Total ways = \( 15 \times 3 = 45 \) - For (3, 2, 1): - Choose 3 balls from 6: \( \binom{6}{3} = 20 \) - Choose 2 from remaining 3: \( \binom{3}{2} = 3 \) - Arrangement of (3, 2, 1): \( \frac{3!}{1!1!1!} = 6 \) - Total ways = \( 20 \times 3 \times 6 = 360 \) - For (2, 2, 2): - Choose 2 balls from 6: \( \binom{6}{2} = 15 \) - Choose 2 from remaining 4: \( \binom{4}{2} = 6 \) - Choose 2 from remaining 2: \( \binom{2}{2} = 1 \) - Arrangement of (2, 2, 2): \( \frac{3!}{2!} = 3 \) - Total ways = \( 15 \times 6 \times 1 \times 3 = 270 \) 3. **Total Valid Distributions:** - Total ways = \( 45 + 360 + 270 = 675 \) 4. **Total Ways to Distribute 6 Balls into 3 Boxes:** - Each ball can go into any of the 3 boxes: \( 3^6 = 729 \) 5. **Probability of Equal Distribution (2, 2, 2):** - The number of ways to achieve the (2, 2, 2) distribution is 270. - Probability = \( \frac{270}{729} = \frac{30}{81} = \frac{10}{27} \) 6. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** - The probability of putting balls in boxes in equal numbers is not \( \frac{1}{6} \) but \( \frac{10}{27} \). Thus, Statement 1 is **false**. ### Statement 2: **Six letters are posted in 3 letter boxes. The probability that no letter box remains empty is `20/27`.** 1. **Total Ways to Distribute Letters:** - Similar to the first statement, we need to find the total number of ways to distribute 6 letters into 3 boxes such that no box is empty. - Using the same distributions as in Statement 1: - (4, 1, 1): 45 ways - (3, 2, 1): 360 ways - (2, 2, 2): 270 ways - Total ways = \( 45 + 360 + 270 = 675 \) 2. **Total Ways to Distribute 6 Letters into 3 Boxes:** - Total ways = \( 3^6 = 729 \) 3. **Probability that No Box is Empty:** - Probability = \( \frac{675}{729} = \frac{25}{27} \) 4. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** - The probability that no letter box remains empty is not \( \frac{20}{27} \) but \( \frac{25}{27} \). Thus, Statement 2 is **false**. ### Final Conclusion: - Both statements are false based on the calculations. The correct probabilities are \( \frac{10}{27} \) for Statement 1 and \( \frac{25}{27} \) for Statement 2.
