The general {ital n}-point distribution function {ital H}{sub {ital n}} characterizes the microstructure of disordered composite and porous media, liquids, and amorphous solids. In this Rapid Communication we obtain an exact analytical representation of {ital H}{sub {ital n}} for inhomogeneous ensembles of {ital d}-dimensional spheres with a polydispersivity in size. Polydispersivity constitutes a fundamental aspect of the structure of random systems of particles.
