In the game of Risk, players set up armies on a map of the world that acts as the game board.

Players can add to their armies or wage war against armies in regions that are beside them. In these wars, each player rolls one or more six-sided dice, with each die representing a battle. With each battle, if the person initiating the war (the attacker) has a higher number, then he/she wins the battle. If the defender rolls a number that is equal to or greater than the attacker, then the defender wins the battle.

The number of dice rolled depends on the number of armies you have. When more than one die is rolled, whoever wins the most battles, wins the war. If each player wins the same number of battles, the defender wins the war.

Suppose each player rolls just one die. Find the probability that the defender wins the war if the attacker rolls a 3. (Write the answer up to two decimal place).

The number of dice rolled depends on the number of armies you have. When more than one dice is rolled, whoever wins the most battles, wins the war. If each player wins the same number of battles, the defender wins the war.

Suppose each player rolls just one die. Find the probability that the defender wins if the attacker rolls a 6 (rounded off to two decimal places).
