Jan 22, 2016 at 21:24 comment added mhsnk The question posed in that link is not assuming distinct batch items. However, that specific answer that I am referring to, has the assumption of distinct batch items. I defined $k$ as you suggested. Thanks!

Jan 22, 2016 at 20:27 comment added Douglas Zare I guess by $k$ you mean the target number of coupons out of $n$, but you should define the notation you use. The linked question does not assume that the coupons in each batch are distinct. Are you assuming to the contrary that you get $b$ different coupons?
