Louis performs in the USE test in mathematics. The exam consists of three types of assignments: \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\). For each of the tasks of type \(A\), four choices are given, only one of which is correct. There are 10 of such tasks. Tasks of type \(B\) and \(C\) require a written
Peter plays a computer game “A bunch of stones.” First in his pile of stones he has 16 stones. Players take turns taking from the pile either 1, 2, 3 or 4 stones. The one who takes the last stone wins. Peter plays this for the first time and therefore each time he takes a random number of stones, whilst not violating the rules of the game. The computer plays according to the following algorithm: on each turn, it takes the number of stones that leaves it to be in the most favorable position. The game always begins with Peter. How likely is it that Peter will win?
Peter proposes to Sam the opportunity to play the following game. Peter gives Sam two boxes of sweets. In each of the two boxes are chocolate sweets and caramels. In all, there are 25 candies in both boxes. Peter proposes that Sam takes a candy from each box. If both sweets turn out to be chocolate, then Sam wins. Otherwise, Peter wins. The probability that Sam will get two caramels is 0.54. Who has a greater chance of winning?
