Football teams $T_1$ and $T_2$ play two games against each other. The outcomes of the two games are independent. The probabilities of $T_1$ winning,drawing,and losing a game against $T_2$ are $\frac{1}{2}$,$\frac{1}{6}$,and $\frac{1}{3}$,respectively. Each team gets $3$ points for a win,$1$ point for a draw,and $0$ points for a loss. Let $X$ and $Y$ denote the total points scored by teams $T_1$ and $T_2$,respectively,after two games.
