This should be a binominal distribution (independent Bernoulli trials):

p(k)= [n!/k!*(n-k)!] * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)

and the result times the average number of players

A bit diffikult to show the correct mathematical term with html and too late for calculating it now ;-).

n=100 (trials)
k=5 (AA)

(n-k)=95
n!=100*99*98*...*3*2*1
k!=120
p=1/221
(1-p)=220/221

Ciao
