Match Experiment - Simulation for Hatcheck 
Course Topic(s): Probability | Famous Problems, hat check | Combinatorics
\(n\) balls numbered 1 through \(n\) are randomly arranged. A match occurs when the ball number matches the position number. The number of matches is recorded. The distribution, mean and variance for the number of matches is shown. The number of balls can be varied from two to twenty. Explanation of how the distribution is found is not given.
