Football teams T_1 and T_2 have to play two games against each other. It is assumed that the outcomes of the two games are independent. The probabilities of T_1 winning. Drawing and losing a game against T_2 are (1)/(2),(1)/(6) and (1)/(3) respectively. Each team gets 3 points for a win. 1 point for a draw and 0 point for a loss in a game. Let X and Y denote the total points scored by teams T_1 and T_2 respectively. after two games.P(X>Y) is
