9. It is time to elect the University President! There are two candidates: Donald and Joe. The university contains six faculties, and each faculty gets one vote. To win the election, you need a majority of votes (i.e., four or more faculties must vote for you). (a) How many different ways could the faculties cast their votes to ensure a perfect tie (i.e., Donald and Joe each receive exactly three votes)? Give your answer as a single integer. (b) If each faculty votes for either Donald or Joe at random (e.g., by flipping a coin), what is the probability that Donald wins the election? Give your answer in the form of a fraction.
