randomly place 100 balls labeled from 1 to 100 in 100 boxes, also labeled. what is the chance that at least one box contains the ball with matching label?

Answer :

The probability that at least one box contains the ball with matching label is [tex](\frac{1}{100} )^{100}[/tex].

Given that:-

Number of labeled boxes = 100

Number of labeled balls = 100

We have to find the probability that at least one box contains the ball with matching label.

We know that,

Probability that at least one box contains the ball with matching label + Probability that no box contains the ball with matching label = 1

Hence, we can write,

Probability that at least one box contains the ball with matching label  = 1 - Probability that no box contains the ball with matching label.

Hence,

Probability that no box contains the ball with matching label = [tex]\frac{99^{100}}{100^{100}} = (\frac{99}{100} ) ^{100}[/tex]

Therefore,

Probability that at least one box contains the ball with matching label  =

1 - [tex](\frac{99}{100} ) ^{100}[/tex] = [tex](\frac{100}{100} )^{100}-({\frac{99}{100} })^{100}=(\frac{1}{100} )^{100}[/tex].
