Example, for k=6, and n=20 what is the probability of having every side of {1,2,3,4,5,6} show up at least once out of 20 rolls.
At first thought it would be (1-(5/6)^20)^6 but that is wrong since for 5 rolls (1-(5/6)^5)^6=.045 but it should be zero percent chance as it's impossible for all 6 sides to show up in only 5 rolls.
k=2, n=5 would be the probability of both {heads} and {tails} showing up at least once out of 5 flips of the coin.
etc.
Looking for the general case.
