If 8 identical blackboards are to be divided among 4 schools,how many divisions are possible? How many, if each school mustrecei

ve at least 1 blackboard?
Response:

if8 boards are to be distributed then the number of ways can be8C4=70
and if every school must get atlest one board then it is possiblein 70-14 ways = 56 ways..
let abcd be the schools

a b c d
0 0 0 8 4C1= 4 (three schools dont get even1 board)
0 0 1 7 4C2= 6 (two schools dont get even 1board)

Answer:

There are 165 ways to distribute the blackboards between the schools. If at least 1 blackboard goes to each school, then we only have 35 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, this is a problem of balls and sticks. The 8 identical blackboards can be represented as 8 balls, and you assign them to each school by using 3 sticks. Basically each school receives an amount of blackboards equivalent to the amount of balls between 2 sticks: The first school gets all the balls before the first stick, the second school gets all the balls between stick 1 and stick 2, the third school gets the balls between sticks 2 and 3 and the last school gets all remaining balls.

 The problem reduces to take 11 consecutive spots which we will use to localize the balls and the sticks and select 3 places to put the sticks. The amount of ways to do this is {11 \choose 3} = 165 . As a result, we have 165 ways to distribute the blackboards.

If each school needs at least 1 blackboard you can give 1 blackbooard to each of them first and distribute the remaining 4 the same way we did before. This time there will be 4 balls and 3 sticks, so we have to put 3 sticks in 7 spaces (if a school takes what it is between 2 sticks that doesnt have balls between, then that school only gets the first blackboard we assigned to it previously). The amount of ways to localize the sticks is {7 \choose 3} = 35. Thus, there are only 35 ways to distribute the blackboards in this case.
