Hey Developer’s, I’m back with a new topic which is Multinomial Coefficients in the series of statistics foundations.
Quick Refresher
A binomial coefficient equals the number of combinations of k items that can be selected from a set of n items.

So, let’s get started …
Multinomial Coefficients
It’s not just of separating two group of elements but actually separating several groups ,more than 2
Example: 10 students need to from 3 groups consisting of 4,3 and 3 members repectively.How many ways can students be assigned to these groups ?
Solution = First Group : Choose 4 students out of 10, 10C4 arrangements.
We are left with 6 students: number of ways to split them is 6C3
(10C4)(6C3) = (10!/4!6!) * (6!/3!3!) = 10!/4!3!3! = 4200
Multinomial Coefficient written as
Just like the binomial coefficients,

Example 1: Picking 4,3,3 students out of 10 : (10 C 4,3,3) = 10!/4!3!3! = 4200
Example 2: Number of ways to arrange 3 a’s, 4 b’s and 5 c’s is : (12 C 3,4,5) = 12!/3!4!5! = 27,720
