Let $E_1, E_2, E_3$ be three arbitrary events of a sample space $S$. Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ random experiment has five outcomes $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ and $w_5$. The probabilities of the occurrence of the outcomes $w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4$ and $w_5$ are respectively $\frac{1}{6}, a, b, c$ and $\frac{1}{12}$ such that $12a + 12b - 1 = 0$. If $p(w_4) = c$ and the outcomes are equally likely for $w_2, w_3, w_4$,find the probability of the outcome $w_3$. Given the condition $12a + 12b = 1$,and assuming $a=b=c$ for the remaining outcomes,find $p(w_3)$.
