If , every bin contains at most one ball, so the total number of balls is at most . Since , the pigeonhole principle makes that event impossible:
As along these values, and the mean occupancy is . Apply part (b):
Both powers tend to . Hence
The Poisson limit for occupancy fractions interprets the answer as the probability that a Poisson distribution variable with mean is at least two.
