Probabiltiy

[Heinsbergrelatz]

I happened to find some random probability question im my book and im stuck on this one .... can anyone help me please, im really weak in probability so....

 

-There are two players A,B, player A gets to roll twice but player B only rolls once, whoever gets the higher number on the upper face wins ( A can choose the higher score of the two rolls), also note that if A and B draws, then B is automatically is the winner . What is the probability that player A will win?

-For the same game, analyze the chance of any player winning 1) if both players can roll twice, 2) roll more than twice

 

I will appreciate any help, thank you
