| Dec 3 at 13:50 | comment | added | rationalfreak | I thought of this but then realized the number of balls in each bin is not independent of other bins. If one ball goes into the first bin, it means that ball is not going into the other bins. To clarify, I am not asking for the expected number of balls in one bin, but the variance across all the bins. I am sorry if I am not clear. | |
