individuals are selected from the room at random, what is the
probability that those two individuals are NOT friends?

Let us name them as F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 and F7.

Given that 4 of them are having exactly one friend.

So, F1 and F2 are friends and F3 and F4 are friends.

F1---F2

F3---F4


Also 3 of them exactly 2 friends.

i.e. F5, F6 and F7 are friends to each other.


i.e. F5 is a friend to F6 and F7

implies F6 is a friend to F5 and F7

and F7 is a friend to F5 and F6



Now if 2 members are selected,

P(that they are not friends) = 1 - P(that they are friends)

It is evident from the above data that the total number of ways of selecting 2 of them such that they are friends = 5.

i.e (F1,F2), (F3,F4), (F5,F6), (F5,F7) and (F6.F7)

Hence Prob that they are friends = 5/7C2 = 5/21.

So Prob that they are not friends = 1 - 5/21 = 16/21

(Folks, for clarity i have assumed named them and paired up as friends.)
