Question Number 182199 by depressiveshrek last updated on 05/Dec/22
Let S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} If we multiply atleast 2 numbers from this set with each other, what are the chances of the product to turn out to be divisible by 3?
$${Let}\:{S}=\left\{\mathrm{1},\:\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3},\:\mathrm{4},\:\mathrm{5},\:\mathrm{6},\:\mathrm{7}\right\} \\ $$$${If}\:{we}\:{multiply}\:{atleast}\:\mathrm{2}\:{numbers} \\ $$$${from}\:{this}\:{set}\:{with}\:{each}\:{other},\:{what} \\ $$$${are}\:{the}\:{chances}\:{of}\:{the}\:{product}\:{to} \\ $$$${turn}\:{out}\:{to}\:{be}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{3}? \\ $$

This solution is for product only 2 numbers I will solve the question later P(product_(div. by 3) )= ((11)/(21)) a×b, b×a ≡ one way, a×a is refused according to the question The method: S_1 = {1, 2, 4, 5, 7} , S_2 = {3, 6} P(product_(div. by 3) )= ((C_1 ^( 5) C_( 1) ^( 2) + C_( 2) ^( 2) _(S_2 ) )/((n(n−1))/2)) ; n= 7

the question is “take at least two numbers”, not “take only two numbers” as you assumed.
$${the}\:{question}\:{is}\:“{take}\:{at}\:{least}\:{two}\: \\ $$$${numbers}'',\:{not}\:“{take}\:{only}\:{two}\: \\ $$$${numbers}''\:{as}\:{you}\:{assumed}. \\ $$

Yes, i didn′t notice that well, thank you Sir for the correction

1) take 7 numbers total: 1 way divisible by 3: 1 way 2) take 6 numbers total: 7 ways divisible by 3: 7 ways 3) take 5 numbers total: C_5 ^7 =21 ways divisible by 3: 1×C_3 ^5 +2×C_4 ^5 =20 4) take 4 numbers total: C_4 ^7 =35 ways divisible by 3: 1×C_2 ^5 +2×C_3 ^5 =30 5) take 3 numbers total: C_3 ^7 =35 ways divisible by 3: 1×C_1 ^5 +2×C_2 ^5 =25 6) take 2 numbers total: C_2 ^7 =21 ways divisible by 3: 1+2×C_1 ^5 =11 take at least 2 numbers: total: 1+7+21+35+35+21=120 ways divisible by 3: 1+7+20+30+25+11=94 ways p=((94)/(120))≈78.3%
