数讨君~我做manhanttan模考也做到sibling这题了,我看到更新的讨论稿加了一个网友给的版本,下面manhanttan给的答案解释是另一种方法,你看看,也可以加上呀~
题目:In a room filled with 7 people, 4 people have exactly 1 sibling in the room and 3 people have exactly 2 siblings in the room. If two individuals are selected from the room at random, what is the probability that those two individuals are NOT siblings?
解释:We are told that 4 people have exactly 1 sibling. This would account for 2 sibling relationships (e.g. AB and CD). We are also told that 3 people have exactly 2 siblings. This would account for another 3 sibling relationships (e.g. EF, EG, and FG). Thus, there are 5 total sibling relationships in the group.
Additionally, there are (7 x 6)/2 = 21 different ways to chose two people from the room.
Therefore, the probability that any 2 individuals in the group are siblings is 5/21. The probability that any 2 individuals in the group are NOT siblings = 1 – 5/21 = 16/21.
The correct answer is E.
