Consider a game where the player tosses a six sided fair die. If the face that comes up is 6, the player wins Rs. 36, otherwise he loses Rs. `k^(2)`, where k is the face that comes up k = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
The expected amount to win at this game in Rs. is

Arrange the following statements in correct sequence: 1. These vapours condense to form tiny droplets of water. 2. The water droplets come together to form large water droplets. 3. The heat of the sun causes evaporation of water from the surface of the earth, oceans, lakes, rivers and other water bodies. 4. The large water droplets become heavy and the air cannot hold them, therefore, they fall as rains. 5. Water vapour is also continuously added to the atmosphere through transpiration from the surface of the leaves of trees. 6. Warm air carrying clouds rises up. 7. Higher up in the atmosphere, the air is cool. 8. These droplets floating in the air along with the dust particles form clouds.

Two players P_1 , and P_2 , are playing the final of a chase championship, which consists of a series of match Probability of P_1 , winning a match is 2/3 and that of P_2 is 1/3. The winner will be the one who is ahead by 2 games as compared to the other player and wins at least 6 games. Now, if the player P_2 , wins the first four matches find the probability of P_1 , wining the championship.
