$i.$ The number of ways of placing $n$ distinct objects in $k$ distinct bins $(k \leq n)$ such that no bin is empty is ${}^{n-1}C_{k-1}$.
$ii.$ The number of ways of writing a positive integer $n$ as a sum of $k$ positive integers is ${}^{n-1}C_{k-1}$.
$iii.$ The number of ways of placing $n$ distinct objects in $k$ distinct bins such that at least one bin is non-empty is ${}^{n-1}C_{k-1}$.
$iv.$ ${}^nC_k - {}^{n-1}C_k = {}^{n-1}C_{k-1}$.

  • A
