I assume you have learned about the ball-and-bin problem in your calls. It may have been called the star-and-bar problem, which is easier to visualize mathematically.
Try to read over your notes and post your answer for a check if you wish.
If you still have difficulties, feel free to explain your attempt.
If your notes are incomplete, or if you were absent from class on the particular day, you can read up the following:
