The question asks:
Suppose that we randomly place 8 playing spieces on an 8 x 8 checkerboard.
What is the probability that each row of the checkerboard will have only one piece?
I've been trying forever to get this question going. My problem is that I cannot figure out the magnitude of the sample space. Can somebody please help me out with this?
I tried to find the sample space for a 2x2 and 3x3 board.
For a 2x2 board i got |S| = 6
For a 3x3 board i got |S| = 24
For a 4x4 board...it got really messy...
Can somebody give me a boost please!?
