Let the mean and variance of $7$ observations $2, 4, 10, x, 12, 14, y$ (where $x > y$) be $8$ and $16$ respectively. Two numbers are chosen from the set $\{1, 2, 3, x-4, y, 5\}$ one after another without replacement. Then the probability that the smaller number among the two chosen numbers is less than $4$ is:

If $S$ is the sample space of a random experiment $\xi$ and $P$ is a probability function defined on the power set $\mathcal{P}(S)$ of $S$,then which one of the following is not satisfied by $P$?

(ii) If $E^c$ is the complementary event of $E$,then $P(E^c) = 1 - P(E)$
(iii) $0 \leq P(E) \leq 1, \forall E \subseteq S$
(iv) If $E_1 \subseteq E_2$,then $P(E_2) \leq P(E_1)$

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
