.

$\huge \text{Rules:}$

1. This post is for people who really want to experience how Korean SAT works.

2. This test has a time limit of 100 minutes.

3. Any use of calculators is considered cheating.

4. This test consists of 30 questions.

5. The first 21 are multiple choice questions, and the rest, 9, are short-answer questions.

6. The total score is 100 points.

7. The amount of points alloted to each question is marked at the end of the question, so keep that in mind.

8. Answers are in the comments section. If you want full experience, check your answers after you've finished answering all of them, rather than check your answers immediately after solving each question.

9. If you don't have enough time to finish those all, then try #20, #21, #28, #29, #30. Those are the hardest ones among all.

10. Have fun!

$\huge 17.~$ For a natural number $n\ge2,$ there's a pocket that contains $n$ cards where each card is written a different natural number from $1$ to $n.$ Choose 2 cards randomly, at the same time, from the pocket. Let the random variable $X$ be the product of the two numbers written on them. Below is the process of finding $E(X).$

When choosing 2 cards randomly, at the same time, from $n$ cards, the probability of choosing $2$ particular cards is $\dfrac{2}{\boxed{\text{ (a) }}}.$

Therefore, if we let $S$ be the sum of all product of the two chosen cards, $E(X)=\dfrac{2}{\boxed{\text{ (a) }}}\times S.$

Meanwhile, if we let $r~(2\ge r \ge n)$ be the bigger number between the two chosen numbers,

\begin{aligned} S & = \sum_{r=2}^{n} \left[r\times\{1+2+3+ \cdots +(r-2)+(r-1)\}\right] \\ & =\sum_{r=2}^{n} \left\{r\times \frac{r(r-1)}{2}\right\} \\ & = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{r=2}^{n} (r^3-r^2) \\ & = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{r=1}^{n} (r^3-r^2) \\ & = \frac{n(n+1)(n-1)(\boxed{\text{ (b) }})}{24}\end{aligned}

To sum up,

$E(X)=\dfrac{\boxed{\text{ (c) }}}{12}.$

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
• Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
