Solution 2
Consider the numbers {1,4,7,10,13,16}. Each of those are congruent to 1mod3. There is way to choose zero numbers ways to choose 1 and so on. There ends up being possible subsets congruent to 0mod 3. There are possible subsets of these numbers.
Solution 3
Notice that six numbers are , six are , and six are . Having numbers will not change the remainder when is divided by , so we can choose any number of these in our subset. We ignore these for now. The number of numbers that are , minus the number of numbers that are , must be a multiple of , possibly zero or negative. We can now split into cases based on how many numbers that are are in the set.
Case 1- , , or integers: There can be , , or integers that are . We can choose these in ways.
Case 2- or integers: There can be or integers that are . We can choose these in ways.
Case 3- or integers: There can be or integers that are . We can choose these in ways.
Adding these up, we get that there are ways to choose the numbers such that their sum is a multiple of three. Putting back in the possibility that there can be multiples of in our set, we have that there are subsets with a sum that is a multiple of . Since there are total subsets, the probability is , so the answer is .
