涂红 10×20×30:随机小块红面数期望
Better in Red II
题目详情
一个 10×20×30 的长方体外表面全部涂成红色,然后切成 6000 个 1×1×1 小立方体。随机均匀选取一个小立方体。
问:该小立方体红色面的期望数量是多少?
A rectangular prism is painted red on the surface and then cut into cubes and one is selected uniformly at random. Find the expected number of red faces on this cube.
解析
总红色小面数等于长方体表面积:
共有 6000 个小立方体,因此随机小立方体红面数期望为
Original Explanation
Label the faces of each cube , and then let be the indicator that side of the cube that is drawn is colored red. Then gives the total number of red sides of the cube. We need to be careful here, as the indicators are not exchangeable. Instead, two of the indicators will correspond to a side, two to a side, and two to a side. Therefore, there are 3 subsets of indicators that are exchangeable, so we can reduce it to an expectation involving 3 indicators and multiply it by 2, so , where we take to indicate a side, to indicate a side, and to indicate a side.
Then, to evaluate these expectations, we just need to find the probability that the side indicated is red on our cube. For , that is cubes. For , that is cubes. For , that is cubes. All of these need to be divided by as that is the volume of the entire prism. Therefore, .
