Mean and SD of the number of matches. There are n balls labeled 1 through n, and n boxes labeled 1 through n. The balls are distributed randomly into the boxes, one in each box, so that all n! permutations are equally likely. Say that a match occurs at place i if the ball labeled i happens to fall in the box labeled i. Let M be the total number of matches. a) Find E(M). b) Find SD(M). c) For very large n, what do you think is the approximate distribution of M
