- Question: A pharmacologist develops 6 new drug compounds, each with a unique mechanism. How many ways can these compounds be tested in 3 clinical phases, if each phase must test at least one compound and the order of testing within a phase does not matter?
- Solution: This is equivalent to partitioning 6 distinct compounds into 3 non-empty, unordered subsets (phases). The number of ways is the Stirling number of the second kind $ S(6, 3) $, multiplied by the number of ways to assign these subsets to 3 distinguishable phases (since phases are distinct, e.g., Phase 1, 2, 3).
