An ellipse is inscribed in a circle and a point within the circle is chosen at random. If the probability that this point lies outside the ellipse is $2/3$,then the eccentricity of the ellipse is:

  • A
    $\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$

Two players,$P_1$ and $P_2$,play a game against each other. In every round,each player rolls a fair die once. Let $x$ and $y$ denote the outcomes for $P_1$ and $P_2$. If $x > y$,$P_1$ scores $5$ points and $P_2$ scores $0$. If $x = y$,each scores $2$ points. If $x < y$,$P_1$ scores $0$ and $P_2$ scores $5$. Let $X_n$ and $Y_n$ be the total scores of $P_1$ and $P_2$ after $n$ rounds. Match the following:

$A$ bag $P$ contains $4$ red and $5$ black balls,another bag $Q$ contains $3$ red and $6$ black balls. If one ball is drawn at random from bag $P$ and two balls are drawn from bag $Q$,then the probability that out of the three balls drawn two are black and one is red,is

$A$ and $B$ are two independent events. The probability that both $A$ and $B$ occur is $\frac{1}{6}$ and the probability that neither of them occurs is $\frac{1}{3}$. Then the probabilities of the two events are respectively:
