Consider the $6 \times 6$ square grid in the figure. Let $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{49}$ be the points of intersection (dots in the picture) in some order. We say that $A_i$ and $A_j$ are friends if they are adjacent along a row or along a column. Assume that each point $A_i$ has an equal chance of being chosen.
$(1)$ Let $p_i$ be the probability that a randomly chosen point has $i$ many friends,$i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4$. Let $X$ be a random variable such that for $i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4$,the probability $P(X=i)=p_i$. Then the value of $7 E(X)$ is
$(2)$ Two distinct points are chosen randomly out of the points $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{49}$. Let $p$ be the probability that they are friends. Then the value of $7 p$ is

  • A
    $24, 0.5$
  • B
    $22, 0.3$
  • C
    $25, 0.4$
  • D
    $20, 0.2$

For the three events $A, B$ and $C$,$P$ (exactly one of the events $A$ or $B$ occurs) = $P$ (exactly one of the events $B$ or $C$ occurs) = $P$ (exactly one of the events $C$ or $A$ occurs) = $p$ and $P$ (all the three events occur simultaneously) = $p^2$,where $0 < p < 1/2$. Then the probability of at least one of the three events $A, B$ and $C$ occurring is

If $A$ and $B$ are two events,then which of the following is $NOT$ true?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be events such that $P(X \cup Y) = P(X \cap Y).$
