Probability, "good" basket.

Probability, "good" basket.

We have 10 balls to divide to 5 baskets, the baskets are numbered 1-5 and
we consider a "good" basket one which contains the same ammount of balls
as its number. X = Number of "good" baskets. Calculate E(X), the average
value of X.
This question is under the "Indicators" section of my course, But seeing
as everybasket has a different chance to be "good" I dont know how to
calculate this, except going into combinatorics but that would take the
whole day. Thanks in advance.
