%N Table T(n,k) giving number of ways of obtaining exactly 0 correct answers on an (n,k)-matching problem (1 <= k <= n).

%C Hanson et al. define the (n,k)-matching problem in the following realistic way. A matching question on an exam has k questions with n possible answers to choose from, each question having a unique answer. If a student guesses the answers at random, using each answer at most once, what is the probability of obtaining r of the k correct answers?

%C The T(n,k) represent the number of ways of obtaining exactly zero correct answers, i.e., r=0, given k questions and n possible answers, 1 <= k <= n.

%C T(n,k) is the number of injections from [1,...,k] into [1,...,n] with no fixed points. - _David Bevan_, Apr 29 2013

%F T(n,k) = F(n,k)*Sum{((-1)^j)*C(k, j)*(n-j)! (j=0 to k)}, where F(n,k) = 1/(n-k)! for 1 <= k <= n.

%F From _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jul 27 2011: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = (n-1)*T(n-1,k-1) + (k-1)*T(n-2,k-2) with T(n,1) = (n-1) and T(n,n) = A000166(n) [Hanson et al.]

%F T(n,k) = (1/(n-k)!)*A061312(n-1,k-1)

%F sum(T(n,k), k=1..n) = A193464(n); row sums. (End)

%F T(n,k) = k!(n-k)![z^n*u^k]J(z,u) where J(z,u) = exp(z(1-u+z*u^2)/(1-z*u))/(1-z*u) is the exponential generating function of labeled digraphs consisting just of directed paths and oriented cycles (of length at least 2), z marking the vertices and u the edges; [z^n*u^k]J(z,u) is the coefficient of z^n*u^k in J(z,u). - _David Bevan_, Apr 29 2013
