leaflets if I give out N leaflets? Say there are 1000 houses, each with an average of 5 people in each (the actual number of people in each house varies). I have an unlimited amount of leaflets and I choose people at random to give the leaflets to. Each person can only receive 1 leaflet.
If I give out N leaflets, what is the probability that all the houses will have a leaflet?
eg. giving out 3000 leaflets will give a 90% chance that all houses will get at least 1 leaflet.
Alternatively, if I give out N leaflets, how many houses will get at least 1 leaflet on average?
eg. If I give out 3000 leaflets, on average 900 houses will get at least 1 leaflet.
