The probability that a mechanic makes an error while using a machine on the $n$th day is given by $P(E_n) = \frac{1}{2^n}$. If he has operated the machine for $4$ days, the probability that he has not made a mistake on $3$ of the $4$ days is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{243}{512}$
  • D
    $\frac{343}{1024}$

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
