Two people, $$P$$ and $$Q,$$ decide to independently roll two identical dice, each with $$6$$ faces, numbered $$1$$ to $$6.$$ The person with the lower number wins. In case of a tie, they roll the dice repeatedly until there is no tie. Define a trial as a throw of the dice by $$P$$ and $$Q.$$ Assume that all $$6$$ numbers on each dice are equi-probable and that all trials are independent. The probability (rounded to $$3$$ decimal places) that one of them wins on the third trial is _____.

$$P$$ and $$Q$$ are considering to apply for a job. The probability that $$P$$ applies for the job is $${1 \over 4},$$ the probability that $$P$$ applies for the job given that $$Q$$ applies for the job is $${1 \over 2},$$ and the probability that $$Q$$ applies for the job given that $$P$$ applies for the job is $${1 \over 3}.$$ Then the probability that $$P$$ does not apply for the job given that $$Q$$ does not apply for the job is

If a random variable $$X$$ has a Poisson distribution with mean $$5,$$ then the expectation $$E\left[ {{{\left( {X + 2} \right)}^2}} \right]$$ equals _________.

For any discrete random variable $$X,$$ with probability mass function $$P\left( {X = j} \right) = {p_j},$$
$${p_j}\,\, \ge 0,\,j \in \left\{ {0,..........,\,\,\,N} \right\},$$ and $$\,\,\sum\limits_{j = 0}^N {{p_j} = 1,\,\,} $$ define the polynomial function $${g_x}\left( z \right) = \sum\limits_{j = 0}^N {{p_j}{z^j}} .$$ For a certain discrete random variable $$Y$$, there exists a scalar $$\beta $$ $$ \in \left[ {0,1} \right]$$ such that $${g_y}\left( z \right) = {\left\{ {1 - \beta + \left. {\beta z} \right)} \right.^N}.$$ The expectation of $$Y$$ is
