Mistake in Example 8.7 #37

Closed mitchkeller closed 4 years ago

mitchkeller commented 5 years ago

Here I’d like to report a small error in Example 8.7 in Section 8.2:

In the solution, the sixth last line, as we are giving to n children, we should choose n-1 dividers, instead of k-1. Then the displayed math following the line should also be corrected.
