Calculate the probability with a finite arithmetic progression












1












$begingroup$


We have a finite arithmetic progression $ a_n $, where $ n geq 3 $ and its $rneq 0 $.
We draw three different numbers. We have to calculate the probability, that
these three numbers in the order of drawing will create another arithmetic progression.



My proposition :



$ Omega={n!over (n-3)!}$



$ mathbf{A}= {n choose 3} cdot 2$



But I think that my way of thinking about way of counting $ mathbf{A}$ is incorrect.



Any suggestions how can I count it? Thanks in advice, Kuba!

$Omega = n(n-1)(n-2)$



We're interested in triples whose elements differ by $r$, $2r$ ... up to $lceil n/3rceil r$

Notice, that if a triple $a_i,a_k,a_l$ is OK, then so is $a_l,a_k,a_i$.

My idea was to "stick together" those desired elements that form each triple and calculate their quantity. To be precise: there are $2(n-2)$ triples whose elements differ by r, $2(n-4)$ triples whose elements differ by $2r$ .... and $2(n-2lceil n/3rceil)$ triples whose elements differ by $lceil n/3rceil r$. Then:
$P(A) = frac{2(n-2+n-4...+n-2 lceil n/3rceil)}{n(n-1)(n-2)}$

    Not exactly we have different possibilities For example when the rest of $ {n 3} $ is $0$, your idea is good, -when the rest of $ {n 3} $ is $ 1 $ $mathbf{A}= 2[n-2+n-4...+n-2 lceil n/3rceil]+1$, when the rest of $ {n 3} $ is $ 2 $ $mathbf{A}= 2[n-2+n-4...+n-2 lceil n/3rceil]+2$, so this is completely good answer :) Cheers

Let the sequence be $a_1,a_2,a_3,...a_n$. Then $|Omega | = {nchoose 3} = {n(n-1)(n-2)over 6}$



and each good 3-sequence is uniquely defined by it's middle term and the difference $d$. So if middle term is $a_m$ then the difference can be $d,2d,...,(m-1)d$.



So if we have $n=2k$, then we have $$1+2+...+(k-1)+(k-1)+...+2+1 = k(k-1)$$
good 3-sequences. So the probability is $$P = {6k(k-1)over 4k(2k-1)(k-1)} = {3over 2(n-1)}$$



If $n=2k+1$ then we have $$1+2+...+(k-1)+k+(k-1)+...+2+1 = k(k-1)+k=k^2$$
good 3-sequences. So the probability is $$P = {6k^2over 2(2k+1)k(2k-1)} = {3(n-1)over 2n(n-2)}$$

    Let the sequence be $a_1,a_2,a_3,...a_n$. Then $|Omega | = {nchoose 3} = {n(n-1)(n-2)over 6}$



    and each good 3-sequence is uniquely defined by it's middle term and the difference $d$. So if middle term is $a_m$ then the difference can be $d,2d,...,(m-1)d$.



    So if we have $n=2k$, then we have $$1+2+...+(k-1)+(k-1)+...+2+1 = k(k-1)$$
    good 3-sequences. So the probability is $$P = {6k(k-1)over 4k(2k-1)(k-1)} = {3over 2(n-1)}$$



    If $n=2k+1$ then we have $$1+2+...+(k-1)+k+(k-1)+...+2+1 = k(k-1)+k=k^2$$
    good 3-sequences. So the probability is $$P = {6k^2over 2(2k+1)k(2k-1)} = {3(n-1)over 2n(n-2)}$$

        Let the sequence be $a_1,a_2,a_3,...a_n$. Then $|Omega | = {nchoose 3} = {n(n-1)(n-2)over 6}$



        and each good 3-sequence is uniquely defined by it's middle term and the difference $d$. So if middle term is $a_m$ then the difference can be $d,2d,...,(m-1)d$.



        So if we have $n=2k$, then we have $$1+2+...+(k-1)+(k-1)+...+2+1 = k(k-1)$$
