I need help with homework!
This is Yr.8 maths, so it should be easy for you!
I have to show a sample space (all possible outcomes) to a 'Balls in the Clowns Mouth' game (the non-dirty one)
For those who haven't played it, you have X amount of small plastic balls and place them in the mouth of a fake clown. The balls are then dispersed into Y compartments divided by walls with numeric values (1 to Y, often). At the end (when all balls are used up), the numeric values on the compartments are added up. Highest prizes are often awarded for the hardest to get.
[EXAMPLE] If there were 4 compartments, 1-10, and you had 8 balls, 8 and 80 would yield the best prizes.[/EXAMPLE]
In my case, I need to know the sample space for if there were 5 balls and 7 compartments, numbered 1 to 7.
I'd ask my maths teacher, but this is due Monday, and I've had it for a week.
Thanks!
Anyone else with hard homework want to make me feel less stupid?
