A venture capitalist is deciding among two investment opportunities. Opportunity A will provide him $4 million profit with 73% probability if it stays at base level i.e. same. But if it’s a wild success, he can sell the venture for a sure amount of $5 million or continue with the venture (that will surely put him on risk once again) where he can earn $1 million profit with probability “a” and win $15 million profit otherwise. On the other hand, if he choose to grab opportunity B, there is a “b” percent chance of winning $10 million profit and he can earn $2 million otherwise.  Determine the strategy region for him.  What will be the two critical points of the region where he will be indifferent among the two decision alternatives?
There are two bags containing several colored balls. The bag B, contains 10 red balls, 12 blue balls, and 13 green balls. The bag B, contains 20 red balls, 19 blue balls and 19 green balls. A student of your class wanted to draw 1 red ball and 3 blue balls. i. If he has the option to draw from only bag B1, what is the probability of drawing the four balls? [Give your answer upto 4 decimal places] ii. If he can choose any bag in an equiprobable manner, what is the probability of drawing the four balls in this case? [Give your answer upto decimal places] 4
Two players are given an opportunity to play a game. They have identical, complete information about how the game works. Player A, seeing the game for the first time, decides not to play, because the expected value is slightly negative. Player B, who has already played one round, decides to play again, in hopes of winning back money lost in the first round. The difference between the two players' thinking can be explained by which concept?

XYZ Construction Company has three loaders operating every day in a construction site. During any day, each loader that is operating at the beginning of the day has a 0.25 chance of breaking down. If a loader breaks down during the day, it is sent to a repair station and will be working (operational) two days after it breaks down. (Thus, if a loader breaks down during day 3, it will be working at the beginning of day 5. Let the state of the system be the number of operational loaders at the beginning of the day. How many states does the system have?
Suppose you’re playing Texas Hold ’Em Poker, and you are dealt a hand witha Jack of Clubs and a Queen of Hearts. The river of 5 cards hasn’t been dealtyet, and you’re hoping to get a straight (5 cards with consecutive ranks, such as10,J,Q,K,A or 8,9,10,J,Q). What is the probability that you will get a straightthat uses both the Jack and Queen in your hand? (This last part is to keep theproblem simple, since it’s possible to get a straight that uses neither card in your hand, suchas A,2,3,4,5, all in the river. Besides, in those cases, ALL players would have a straight, sothat’s not so good for you!)Guide: Our goal is to calculate:P(straight using both cards in hand) = # 5-card combinations that get us a straight with the J & Q# 5-card combinations overall .(a) We’ll start with the denominator, which can be done with a singleformula from class: How many 5-card combinations are possible for theriver? (Keep in mind what is in your hand. Note that how many opponents you haveand what…
