11. If three distinct numbers are chosen randomly from the
first 100 natural numbers, then the probability that all three of them are
divisible by both 2 and 3
(a) 4/55
(b) 4/35
(c) 4/33
(d) 4/1155
Solution method: A distinct number that is randomly chosen
from a population of big size with a small fixed sample lot is called as Bayer's
approximation of probability ratios. This is represented by
nCr= n! /
There are 16 digits divisible by 6 ( common factor of 2 and 3 = 2x3 =6) So r=16, N=100
Number of ways in which 3 numbers are selected from these 16
numbers is 16C3
Number of ways in which 3 numbers are selected randomly from
100 numbers is 100C3
_______________________ = 4 / 1155
Explanation: This type of analysis is done on a huge set of numbers ,within which ,a smaller subset is selected for probability analysis. This can be considered as the Bayer theorem corollary,since probability theory can be used to negotiate plans for immediate future .This is used in market speculation in current world. As shown above, a definite answer to probability of numbers indicates futuristic ways on market trading in stocks and business prediction in today's competitive world. So here ,it shows that probability is indeed a science of fairly good amount of accuracy .
Chevalier De Mere's problem ( a classic case)shows that Bayer's theory is not fully accurate. This needs approximations as per the above case.
