| Feb 19, 2018 at 16:02 | comment | added | Ross Millikan | Can you compute the probability that the first urn has more than $c$ balls? By linearity that gives you the expected number with more than $c$ balls, which is not the same as the probability that at least one has more than $c$ balls but is an indication if the probability is small. | |
