Stats plz help

Nikkita
a deck of n numbered cards is thoroughly shuffled and the cards are inserted into n numbered cells one by one. If card no.'i'  falls in the cell 'i', we count it as a match, otherwise not. Find mean and variance of total no. of such matches.

Nikita,
Look up 'dearrangements'

Number of ways to allot n umbrellas to n people such that no one gets their own umbrella is given by the dearrangrments formula which is kind of complicated to type but you can look it up.
