(B) The total number of ways to place $12$ identical balls into $3$ distinct boxes is given by the stars and bars formula: $\binom{12+3-1}{3-1} = \binom{14}{2} = 91$. However,in probability problems involving placing balls into boxes,we typically treat the balls as being placed independently into boxes with probability $p = \frac{1}{3}$ for each box.Let $X$ be the number of balls in a specific box. $X$ follows a binomial distribution $B(n, p)$ where $n = 12$ and $p = \frac{1}{3}$.The probability that a specific box contains exactly $3$ balls is $P(X = 3) = \binom{12}{3} \left(\frac{1}{3}ight)^3 \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9$.Since there are $3$ boxes,the probability that at least one box contains exactly $3$ balls is calculated using the binomial distribution logic for the selection of boxes.$P = \binom{12}{3} \left(\frac{1}{3}ight)^3 \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9 = \frac{12 	imes 11 	imes 10}{3 	imes 2 	imes 1} 	imes \frac{1}{27} 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9 = 220 	imes \frac{1}{27} 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9 = \frac{220}{27} 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9$.Simplifying,$\frac{220}{27} = \frac{55 	imes 4}{27} = \frac{55}{3} 	imes \frac{4}{9} = \frac{55}{3} 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^2$.Thus,$P = \frac{55}{3} 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^2 	imes \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^9 = \frac{55}{3} \left(\frac{2}{3}ight)^{11}$.

If $12$ identical balls are to be placed in $3$ distinct boxes,then the probability that one of the boxes contains exactly $3$ balls is:
