6. p= ($20, 0.4; $40, 0.6). Use a concave utility function to graphically illustrate each of the following: a. Show that EU(p) > EU(q) where q is a mean-preserving spread of p. (Note: This will work for any lottery q. Choose one to illustrate.) b. Show that EU(r) > EU(p) where r is a non mean-preserving spread of p. (Note: This won't work for all lotteries r. Find one that does work.)
