Abstract

In this article we study a number of collisions concerning a simple occupancy problem with unequal probabilities. Using combinatorial arguments and negative associations of random variables, we have several limit theorems, namely, a weak law of large numbers and a Poisson law of small numbers including the Chen-Stein estimate.
