Two different numbers are selected simultaneously and at random from the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. What is the probability that the positive difference between the two numbers is 3 or greater? Express your answer as a common fraction.
There are \({7 \choose 2} = 21 \) choices
The only cases that work are (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (1, 7), (2, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7), (3, 6), (3, 7), (4, 7)
So, the probability is \({9 \over 21} = \color{brown}\boxed{3 \over 7}\)
