You want to distribute 7 candies to 4 kids. If every kid must receive at least one candy, in how many ways can you do this?

1140 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is: (n +r - 1)C(r-1), where n is the number of identical items (the candies), and r is the possible number of recipients (the kids).

The 17 identical candies, can be distributed among the 4 children in :  

=(17 + 4 - 1)C(4–1) = 20C3 ways.

= 20!/((20–3)!*3!) ways.

= 20*19*18*17!/(17!*(3*2*1)) = 20*19*18/6 ways

= 20*19*3 ways.  

=1140 ways.

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
