So according to the multinomial distribution, the probability function $\Pr(X_1 = x_1, X_2 = x_2, \dots, X_k = x_k)$ is equal to $\dfrac{n!}{x_1! x_2! \cdots x_k!} \cdot p_1^{x_1}\cdot p_2^{x_2} \cdots p_k^{x_k}$
(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_distribution).
And if we were to sum all of the probabilites for all possible values of $x_1, x_2, \dots x_k$, we would get one.
The thing is that summing all of those probablities also includes the situations in which at least one $x_j = 0$. How would I go about computing the following probablity function?:
$$\Pr(X_1=x_1>0, X_2=x_2>0, \ldots, X_k=x_k>0) = ?$$
So basically, the sum of all probabilities of the scenarios in which no $x_j = 0$ and the sum of all the probabilities of the scenarios in which at least one $x_j = 0$ is equal to $1$.
I want to find the sum of all probabilities of the scenarios in which no $x_j = 0$
