| Oct 20, 2020 at 22:13 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | @MIQ: as far as I can tell, the Wikipedia article is wrong here. The $q$-binomial coefficient counts exactly what you asked for, with the balls indistinguishable. You can double-check some small numbers with the numbers given on MathWorld, for example: mathworld.wolfram.com/q-BinomialCoefficient.html | |
