An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is a head,a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the sum of the numbers on the two faces is noted. If the result is a tail,a card from a well-shuffled pack of eleven cards numbered $2, 3, 4, \dots, 12$ is picked and the number on the card is noted. The probability that the noted number is either $7$ or $8$ is:

$A$ and $B$ each select one number at random from the distinct numbers $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$. The probability that the number selected by $A$ is less than the number selected by $B$ is $\frac{1009}{2019}$. The probability that the number selected by $B$ is the number immediately next to the number selected by $A$ is:

$A$ and $B$ alternately throw a pair of dice. $A$ wins if he throws a sum of $5$ before $B$ throws a sum of $8$,and $B$ wins if he throws a sum of $8$ before $A$ throws a sum of $5$. The probability that $A$ wins,if $A$ makes the first throw,is

Two persons $A$ and $B$ take turns in throwing a pair of dice. The first person to throw a sum of $9$ with both dice will win the game. If $A$ throws first,then the probability that $B$ wins the game is:

There are three bags $B_1$,$B_2$,and $B_3$ containing $2$ Red and $3$ White,$5$ Red and $5$ White,and $3$ Red and $2$ White balls respectively. $A$ ball is drawn from bag $B_1$ and placed in bag $B_2$,then a ball is drawn from bag $B_2$ and placed in bag $B_3$,then a ball is drawn from bag $B_3$. The number of ways in which this process can be completed,if the same colour balls are used in the first and second transfers (assume all balls to be distinct),is
