There are 7 balls of the same size: 2 black balls, 2 white balls, and 3 red balls arranged in a row. Let event $A$ be the event that the 2 black balls are adjacent, event $B$ be the event that the 2 black balls are not adjacent, and event $C$ be the event that no two red balls are adjacent. Select the correct options.
(1) $P ( A ) > P ( B )$

Xiaoming wrote a program to move a robot on a $2 \times 2$ chessboard, as shown in the figure. Each execution, the program selects one direction from ``up, down, left, right'' with equal probability for each direction, and instructs the robot to move one square in that direction. However, if the selected direction would move the robot off the board, the robot stays in place. Each execution starts from the robot's current position with a newly selected direction by the program. Assume the robot's initial position is $A$. Let $a _ { n } , b _ { n } , c _ { n }$, and $d _ { n }$ be the probabilities that the robot is at positions $A , B , C , D$ respectively after executing the program $n$ times. Select the correct options.
(1) $b _ { 1 } = \frac { 1 } { 4 }$
(2) $b _ { 2 } = \frac { 1 } { 8 }$
(3) $a _ { 2 } + d _ { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 4 }$
$A$$B$
$C$$D$

(4) $b _ { 99 } = c _ { 99 }$
(5) $a _ { 100 } + d _ { 100 } > \frac { 1 } { 2 }$
A shopping mall holds a raffle drawing activity with on-site registration. After registration closes, the host places the same number of raffle balls as the number of registrants, of which 10 balls are marked as lucky prizes: 5 balls for a 5000 yuan gift voucher and 5 balls for an 8000 yuan gift voucher. Each ball has an equal probability of being drawn, and balls are not replaced after drawing. Before the drawing, the organizers announce a winning probability of 0.4\% based on the number of prizes and registrants. After the drawing begins, each person draws a ball in order, and each person has only one chance to draw. If among the first 100 participants, exactly 1 person draws a 5000 yuan voucher and no one draws an 8000 yuan voucher, then the expected value of the prize amount that the 101st person can receive is (15-1)(15-2) yuan.

BlueGreen
Number 124
Number 23$k$

There are two fair six-sided dice A and B: The numbers on A are $1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9$, The numbers on B are $1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9$. The relationship between the numbers on A and B is recorded in the table below. For example: if the numbers on A and B are 5 and 3 respectively, it is recorded as ``A wins''; if both A and B show 5, it is recorded as ``tie''.
\multirow{2}{*}{}\multicolumn{6}{|c|}{A}
Number125679
\multirow{6}{*}{B}1TieA winsA winsA winsA winsA wins

4B winsB winsA winsA winsA winsA wins
5B winsB winsTieA winsA winsA wins
6B winsB winsB winsTieA winsA wins
9B winsB winsB winsB winsB winsTie

If a person rolls both dice A and B simultaneously, what is the probability that B shows 6 given that A's number is greater than B's number?

There is a card-drawing prize activity with the following rules: In an opaque box, there are 2 cards marked with ``1000 yuan'' and 3 cards marked with ``0 yuan''. A participant randomly draws one card from the box. Without knowing the amount marked on the drawn card, the host then places a card marked with ``500 yuan'' into the box. At this point, the participant has two choices: (I) Keep the originally drawn card; the amount marked on that card is the prize won. (II) Discard the originally drawn card without returning it, and randomly draw another card from the box; the amount marked on that card is the prize won.
A participant joins this activity. Assume each card has an equal chance of being drawn. Select the correct options.
(1) If the participant chooses (I), the probability of winning 0 yuan is $\frac { 3 } { 5 }$
(2) If the participant chooses (I), the expected value of the prize is 500 yuan
(3) If the participant chooses (II), the probability of winning 1000 yuan is $\frac { 2 } { 5 }$
(4) If the participant chooses (II), the probability of winning 0 yuan is $\frac { 12 } { 25 }$
(5) If the participant chooses (II), the expected value of the prize is 420 yuan

There are two parking lots next to a scenic spot. Assume that on a certain day, the probability that either parking lot has no available spaces is 0.7, and whether the two parking lots have available spaces is independent. If a car arrives at these two parking lots on that day, the probability that at least one parking lot has available spaces is 0.(13--1)(13--2).
A holiday market stall offers ``test your luck—cute dolls regularly priced at 480 yuan can be purchased for as low as 240 yuan''. The rules are: customers flip a fair coin up to 5 times. If 3 consecutive heads are obtained in the first 3 flips, they can purchase a doll for 240 yuan. If 3 heads are accumulated by the 4th flip, they can purchase for 320 yuan. If 3 heads are accumulated by the 5th flip, they can purchase for 400 yuan. If 3 heads are not accumulated after 5 flips, they can purchase for 480 yuan. The expected value of the amount a customer spends to purchase a doll is (15-1) (15-2) (15-3) yuan.
