Abstract

A classical scheme of random equiprobable allocations of n particles into N cells is considered. We find an asymptotic formula for the probability that the number of empty cells is equal to k under the condition that n, N → ∞ in such a way that n/(N − k) is bounded and separated from 1 from below.
