Bill has a small deck of 12 playing cards made up of only 2 suits of 6 cards each. Each of the 6 cards within a suit has a different value from 1 to 6; thus, there are 2 cards in the deck that have the same value.
Bill likes to play a game in which he shuffles the deck, turns over 4 cards, and looks for pairs of cards that have the same value. What is the chance that Bill finds at least one pair of cards that have the same value?
它的对立事件就是: Bill finds no pair of cards that have the same value 要想抽出来每张牌的面额都不同,可以把2个面额相同的牌看作一组,从6组面额都不相同的牌中选4张有C(4,6)种方法,每组相同面额有两个不同的牌可以选择,所以总共有(2^4)*C(4,6)种取法 从12张牌里取出4张共有C(4,12)种取法 所以该事件的概率为:[(2^4)*C(4,6)]/C(4,12)=16/33 其对立事件(Bill finds at least one pair of cards that have the same value)的概率是:1-16/33=17/33 选C
