Table 1
Fraction ℱ of clusters (in %) that do realize the dual condition: (i) having at least one star more massive than Mmin; and (ii) containing less than nSN stars more massive than 8 M⊙.
| nSN = 5 | nSN = 4 | nSN = 7 | nSN = 5 | nSN = 5 | |
| Mmin = 32 M⊙ | Mmin = 32 M⊙ | Mmin = 32 M⊙ | Mmin = 25 M⊙ | Mmin = 40 M⊙ | |

| α = 2 | 5.2 | 4.5 | 5.9 | 7.7 | 3.6 |

Notes. These numbers are the integration of the probability distributions shown in Fig. 2 over the cluster size distribution Pcl(N) = dNcl/ dN ≈ N− α. The fiducial condition, given by Mmin = 32 M⊙, nSN = 5, and α = 2 (see text) is outlined in bold font. Errors on the calculated probability due to the finite number of IMF realizations (10 000) are below 5% relative.
