Average occupancy and and its variance

83 Views Asked by At

I have $N$ boxes with a given number of balls among the boxes. I know the occupancy distribution so I have the average number of balls per bins (let's call it the mean).

The underlying process is that at every time step we can add or remove a balls from one bins according to a given rule.

So during the process the average occupancy fluctuates (i.e. the mean has a variance and a distribution)

Is that possible to determine a connection between the the variance of the mean and the variance of the original occupancy distribution?
