Deborah is at the casino and is considering playing Roulette. In Roulette, a ball drops into one of 36 slots on a spinning wheel. 17 of the slots are red, 17 are black, and 2 are green. Each slot is equally likely and occurs with probability 1/36. Deborah bets $1.00 on black. If the ball drops into a black slot she receives $2.00 and if it drops into a red or green slot, she receives nothing. a) The expected value of Deborah’s bet (after subtracting the $1.00 she bet) is $________________ b) Given that Deborah makes this bet, is she risk adverse, risk neutral, or risk loving?

He is not sure which strategy to choose for his next shot. He can try and pot a relatively difficult red ball (strategy R1), which he will pot with probability 0.4. If he pots it, he will have to play the black ball, which he will pot with probability 0.3. His second option (strategy R2) is to try and pot a relatively easy red, which he will pot with probability 0.7. If he pots it, he will have to play the blue ball, which he will pot with probability 0.6. His third option, (strategy R3) is to play safe, meaning not trying to pot any ball and give a difficult shot for his opponent to then make a foul, which will give Matthew 4 points with probability 0.5. If potted, the red balls are worth 1 point each, while the blue ball is worth 5 points, and the black ball 7 points. If he does not pot any ball, he gets 0 point. By using the EMV rule, which strategy should Matthew choose? And what is his expected…Angel, Bianca, Clara are independent farmers, and they are deciding which crop to cultivate. They usually select tomatoes because it makes $100 in profits with a probability of 100%. A foreigner just visited them and told them they can crop this new vegetable called amaranta. However, it only grows half the time. If someone grows it, they will make $500 in profits with a probability of 50% and $0 with a probability of 50%. The foreigner sells the amaranta seeds at p. But, since she wants to promote amaranta worldwide, she will only charge the seeds if the amaranta grows. In other words, if Angel, Bianca or Clara cultivate amaranta, they will mak $500 - p in profits with a probability of 50% and $0 with a probability of 50%. Assume Angel, Bianca and Clara can only grow either tomatoes or amaranta, but not both at the same time. 10.3 If the utility function of Clara with respect to money is Uc between growing tomatoes and amaranta? w?, for which value of p is she indifferent
- Arielle is a risk-averse traveler who is planning a trip to Canada. She is planning on carrying $400 in her backpack. Walking the streets of Canada, however, can be dangerous and there is some chance that she will have her backpack stolen. If she is only carrying cash and her backpack is stolen, she will have no money ($0). The probability that her backpack is stolen is 1/5. Finally assume that her preferences over money can be represented by the utility function U(x)=(x)^0.5 Suppose that she has the option to buy traveler’s checks. If her backpack is stolen and she is carrying traveler’s checks then she can have those checks replaced at no cost. National Express charges a fee of $p per $1 traveler’s check. In other words, the price of a $1 traveler’s check is $(1+p). If the purchase of traveler’s checks is a fair bet, then we know that the purchase of traveler checks will not change her expected income. Show that if the purchase is a fair bet, then the price (1+p) = $1.25.A Bank has foreclosed on a home mortgage and is selling the house at auction. There are two bidders for the house, Zeke and Heidi. The bank does not know the willingness to pay of these three bidders for the house, but on the basis of its previous experience, the bank believes that each of these bidders has a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $800,000, a probability of 1/3 of valuing at $600,000, and a probability of 1/3 of valuing it at $300,000. The bank believes that these probabilities are independent among buyers. If the bank sells the house by means of a second- bidder, sealed-bid auction, what will be the bank’s expected revenue from the sale? The answer is 455, 556. Please show the steps in details thank you!Bill owes Bob $36. Just before Bill pays him the money, he gives Bob the opportunity to play a dice game to potentially win more money. The rules of this game are as follows: If Bob rolls doubles (probability 1/6), Bill will Bob double ($72). If he misses doubles on pay the first try, he can try again or settle for half the money ($18). If he makes doubles on the second try Bill will again pay-up double ($72), but if Bob misses doubles on the second try Bill will only pay him one-third ($12). Should Bob decide to play the dice game with Bill, or insist that he pay the $36 now? Use a decision tree to support your answer.
- Clancy has $5,000. He plans to bet on a boxing match between Sullivan and Flanagan. He finds that he can buy coupons for $3 that will pay off $10 each if Sullivan wins. He also finds in another store some coupons that will pay off $10 if Flanagan wins. The Flanagan tickets cost $1 each. Clancy believes that the two fighters each have a probability of 1/2 of winning. Clancy is a risk averter who tries to maximize the expected value of the natural log of his wealth. In order to maximize his expected utility, he buys. Flanagan tickets. (Answer up to 2 decimal places.) Sullivan tickets and for the rest of the money, he buys Your Answer:Phil, Stu, and Doug are deciding which fraternity to pledge. They all assign a payoff of 5 to pledging Phi Gamma and a payoff of 4 to Delta Chi. The payoff from not pledging either house is 1. Phi Gamma and Delta Chi each have two slots. If all three of them happen to choose the same house, then the house will randomly choose which two are admitted. In that case, each has probability 2/3 of getting in and probability 1/3 of not pledging any house. If they do not all choose the same house, then all are admitted to the house they chose. Find a symmetric Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies.A salesperson is trying to sell cars. The number of cars that she will sell depends on her effort "e" and her luck. Given her effort e, with probability 4e she is able to sell four cars, and with probability (1 - 4e) she is able to sell only one car. Her personal cost of effort is 100e². The dealership pays her a bonus b for each car sold. The salesperson is risk-neutral, and wants to maximize her expected utility, which is her expected income minus her effort cost. a) Given the bonus b, the salesperson's best response function is b) Suppose the dealership pays b = 2. Then the expected number of cars sold will be E(Q)=
- Eric has a job at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard or not. If Eric works hard, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal S100 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are S100 a day. Eric will because the net gain of from shirking is than the net gain of from working hard. O shirk; $87.50; more; $62.50 O shirk; $125; more; $118 O work hard; S50; less; $62.50 O work hard; $100; less; $250Suppose you own a house worth $500. However, there is a risk the house could burn down. If the house burns down, it will only be worth $25. There is a 5% chance the house burns down. However, you can buy insurance that will pay you if in the event the house burns down. Call the amount of insurance purchased K. The premium you have to pay for K dollars of insurance is 0.05×K. So, if hypothetically you wanted $100 of insurance, the premium would be $5. Assume you have log-utility u(x) = ln(x). What is the optimal amount of insurance, K ∗ ? (Note: the premium must be paid whether the house burns down or not.)Professor can give a TA scholarship for a maximum of 2 years. At the beginning of each year professor Hahn decides whether he will give a scholarship to Gong Yi or not. Gong Yi can get a scholarship in t=2, only if he gets it in t=1. Basically, the professor and TA will play the following game twice. TA can be a Hardworking type with probably 0.3 and can be a Lazy type with a probability of 0.7. Professor does not know TA's type. If TA is hard working, it will be X=5 and TA will always work if he gets a scholarship. If TA is lazy, it will be X= 1. There is no time discount for t=2. Find out a Perfect Bayesian Equilibrium of the game.
