An Investigation of Montmort's "Probleme de Recontres" and Generalizations

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

I have investigated a problem which may be phrased in many ways, such as finding the probability of answering a given number of questions correctly on a randomly-completed matching test which may have a number of extra "dud" answers. I have determined such probabilities, the average number of correct answers, and other allied results. I have also investigated a related problem involving the number of ways of choosing a different element from each of a certain collection of sets.
