ith 0 identical marbles permitted to be included in any of the jars, An expression can be developed to determine the total of marbles in jar arrangements, which is:
E = [(n+j -1)!]*{1/[(j-1)!]*[(n)!]}, where n = number of identical balls and j =number of distinct jars, the contents of all of which must sum to n for each marbles in j jars arrangement. With n = 7 and j = 4. E = 10!/(3!)(7!) = 120= number of ways 7 identical marbles can be distributed to 4 distinct jars such that up to 3 boxes may be empty and the maximum to any box is 7 balls.i think is the answer
