You have 2 biased coins. Coin A comes up heads with probability 1/4, while coin B comes up heads with probability 3/4. However, you don’t know which is which, so you choose a coin randomly and flip it. If the flip is heads, you guess the flipped coin is B, otherwise you guess it is coin A. What is the probability that your guess is correct?

Alice tosses a fair coin and throws a 6-sided die. Then, Bob tosses a fair coin and throws a 6-sided die too. If the sides they got for the coin flips are the same, Alice wins. If the sides they got for the coin flips are different, then whoever got the bigger number for their die roll wins. Otherwise, it's a tie. What is the probability of a tie?
