涂色 5×5×5 立方体:随机小块掷出红面朝上的概率
Cube Colorer
题目详情
把一个 5×5×5 的大立方体外表面全部涂成红色,然后切成 125 个 1×1×1 小立方体。
随机均匀选取一个小立方体并滚动(各朝向等可能)。问:它出现“红色面朝上”的概率是多少?
Bob paints the outer faces of a cube red and then cuts this cube up into cubes. You choose one cube uniformly at random and roll it. Find the probability that this cube shows a red face up.
解析
等价于在所有小立方体的所有面中,随机选取一个面看它是否为红。
- 总涂色面数:大立方体外表面面积为 。
- 小立方体总面数:。
因此概率为
Original Explanation
Let's solve the generic case for a cube. In particular, there are painted sides, as each side has faces painted. There are total faces in the cube, as each of the cubes has faces. Therefore, the probability that we obtained a painted side when we roll the selected cube is . In this case, , so our answer is .
