A bag contains 5 white balls with the numbers $1,2,3,4,5$ written on them one each, and 5 black balls with the numbers $2,3,4,5,6$ written on them one each. When 2 balls are drawn simultaneously at random from the bag, what is the probability that the 2 balls drawn are either the same color or have the same number written on them? [3 points]

16. (This question is worth 12 points)
A shopping mall is holding a promotional lottery activity. After customers purchase goods of a certain amount, they can participate in the lottery. The lottery method is as follows: randomly draw 1 ball each from box A containing 2 red balls $\mathrm { A } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { A } _ { 2 }$ and 1 white ball B, and from box B containing 2 red balls $\mathrm { a } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { a } _ { 2 }$ and 2 white balls $\mathrm { b } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { b } _ { 2 }$. If both balls drawn are red, the customer wins; otherwise, the customer does not win. (I) List all possible outcomes of drawing balls using the ball labels. (II) Someone claims: Since there are more red balls than white balls in both boxes, the probability of winning is greater than the probability of not winning. Do you agree? Please explain your reasoning.

Chinese mathematician Chen Jingrun achieved world-leading results in research on Goldbach's conjecture. Goldbach's conjecture states that ``every even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers'', such as $30 = 7 + 23$. Among prime numbers not exceeding 30, if two different numbers are randomly selected, the probability that their sum equals 30 is
A. $\frac { 1 } { 12 }$
B. $\frac { 1 } { 14 }$
C. $\frac { 1 } { 15 }$
D. $\frac { 1 } { 18 }$

A wheel of fortune consists of five equally sized sectors. One of the sectors is labeled "0", one is labeled "1" and one is labeled "2"; the other two sectors are labeled "9".
(1a) [2 marks] The wheel of fortune is spun four times. Calculate the probability that the numbers 2, 0, 1 and 9 are obtained in the specified order.
(1b) [3 marks] The wheel of fortune is spun twice. Determine the probability that the sum of the numbers obtained is at least 11.
(2) [3 marks] The random variable $X$ can only take the values 1, 4, 9 and 16. It is known that $P ( X = 9 ) = 0.2$ and $P ( X = 16 ) = 0.1$ as well as the expected value $E ( X ) = 5$. Using an approach for the expected value, determine the probabilities $P ( X = 1 )$ and $P ( X = 4 )$.
(3) [2 marks] Given is a Bernoulli chain with length $n$ and success probability $p$. Explain that for all $k \in \{ 0 ; 1 ; 2 ; \ldots ; n \}$ the relationship $B ( n ; p ; k ) = B ( n ; 1 - p ; n - k )$ holds.

We fix $n \in \mathbf { N } ^ { * }$ and draw successively and with replacement two integers $p$ and $q$ according to a uniform distribution on $\llbracket 1 , n \rrbracket$. We define the events:
  • $A _ { n }$: "We obtain $p = q$".
  • $C _ { n }$: "We obtain $p > q$".

Calculate $\mathbf { P } \left( A _ { n } \right)$ then $\mathbf { P } \left( C _ { n } \right)$.
