实数 xx yyzz 独立且均匀地从区间 [0,n][0,n] 中选取,其中 nn 是正整数。使得 xx yyzz 中任意两个数之间的距离都大于一的概率超过 12\dfrac{1}{2}。满足条件的最小 nn 是多少?

Real numbers x,x, y,y, and zz are chosen independently and at random from the interval [0,n][0,n] for some positive integer n.n. The probability that no two of x,x, y,y, and zz are within 1 unit of each other is greater than 12.\dfrac{1}{2}. What is the smallest possible value of n?n?

答案:D
知识点:几何概率体积对称性
难度评级:2460
解答:

这个问题可以看作几何概率问题,把区间看成坐标轴上的范围。

不妨先考虑 nxyz0. n \geq x \geq y \geq z \geq 0.

满足这个顺序限制的点 (x,y,z)(x, y, z) 构成一个四面体。

这个四面体的高为 nn,底面积为 n22\dfrac{n^2}{2},所以体积为 13n22n=n36. \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{n^2}{2} \cdot n = \dfrac{n^3}{6}.

现在加入题目中的限制。需要找出满足 的区域。 xy,xz,yz1. |x - y|, |x - z|, |y - z| \geq 1.

根据已经规定的顺序,这些不等式可化为 xy1 and yz1. x - y \geq 1 \text{ and } y - z \geq 1.

这两个限制形成如下图所示的另一个四面体。

注意,在新的四面体中,所有线性尺寸都减少了 22。因此高为 n2n - 2,底面积为 (n2)22\dfrac{(n - 2)^2}{2}

因此体积为 13(n2)22(n2) \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{(n - 2)^2}{2} \cdot (n - 2) =(n2)36. = \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{6}.

所求概率为 (n2)36÷n36=(n2)3n3. \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{6} \div \dfrac{n^3}{6} = \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{n^3}.

逐一检查选项可知,使这个比例大于 12\dfrac{1}{2} 的最小值是 1010

所以正确答案是 D

This problem lends itself to geometric probability since we can view the interval as a range on an axis.

WLOG, let nxyz0. n \geq x \geq y \geq z \geq 0.

Then we have that the points (x,y,z)(x, y, z) which satisfy this restriction form a tetrahedron.

The height of this tetrahedron is n,n, and the base has an area of n22.\dfrac{n^2}{2}. This makes the volume 13n22n=n36. \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{n^2}{2} \cdot n = \dfrac{n^3}{6}.

Now we have to apply the restrictions from the problem statement. We need to find the region where xy,xz,yz1. |x - y|, |x - z|, |y - z| \geq 1.

From our ordering condition that we imposed, these inequalities reduce to xy1 and yz1. x - y \geq 1 \text{ and } y - z \geq 1.

These two restrictions form another tetrahedron as shown below.

Note that in the new tetrahedron, all the dimensions have been reduced by 2.2. This makes the height n2n - 2 and the base (n2)22.\dfrac{(n - 2)^2}{2}.

The volume is then 13(n2)22(n2) \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{(n - 2)^2}{2} \cdot (n - 2)=(n2)36. = \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{6}.

The desired probability is then (n2)36÷n36=(n2)3n3. \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{6} \div \dfrac{n^3}{6} = \dfrac{(n - 2)^3}{n^3}.

Plugging in all the answer choices, we get that the smallest value such that this fraction is greater than 12\dfrac{1}{2} is 10.10.

Thus, D is the correct answer.
