Aug 17, 2020 at 19:51 comment added Iosif Pinelis @OmarR. : Does "any pair of items (i,j) that is found more than once across samplings" mean "any subset of cardinality $2$ of the set $\{1,\dots,M\}$ that is found in more than one sampling"?
Aug 17, 2020 at 19:49 comment added OmarR Could you please explain how the probability $9(n^2-n)/(M^2-M)$ is obtained because this formula does not make a distinction between sampling with and without replacement (I guess).
Aug 17, 2020 at 18:10 comment added user44143 Each of the 10 times, $(n^2-n)/2$ pairs are chosen. For each pair at one time, the probability of its matching with a pair from another time is roughly $9(n^2-n)/(M^2-M)$. So the expected number of duplicate pairs is roughly $$\frac{45(n^2-n)^2}{2(M^2-M)}.$$ Since $n << M$, it seems unnecessary to go further.

Aug 17, 2020 at 15:58 comment added Iosif Pinelis What do you mean by a pair duplicate?
