If 12 identical balls are to be placed in 3 identical boxes, then the probability that one of the boxes contains exactly 3 balls is:
- \(\frac{55}{3}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{11}\)
- \(55\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{10}\)
- \(220\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{12}\)
- \(22\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{11}\)
Answer
(D) 22 ( 1 3 )^ 11
