Matthew is playing snooker (more difficult variant of pool) with his friend. 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…
If the farmer uses pesticides he expects a crop of 60,000 bushels; if he does not use pesticides he expects a crop of 50,000 bushels. The cost of pesticides is $30,000 and the other costs associated with planting and harvesting the crop total $450,000. The price of corn at harvest time will either be $9.00 with probability of 0.50 or it will be $11.00 with probability 0.50, so if the farmer decides to sell the crop at harvest, the expected price per bushel that he will receive is $10.00. If the farmer decides to sell the crop at harvest, then: a. He should not use pesticides because not using pesticides ensures greater expected profit. b. He should not use pesticides because not using pesticides ensures lower expected profit. c. He should use pesticides because using pesticides ensures greater expected profit. d. He should use pesticides because using pesticides ensures lower expected profit.

The probability that it will rain on any given day is 0.20, and the probability is independent from day to day. You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral. You place the following monetary values on the potential outcomes: a sunny day at $95 the golf course a rainy day at the movies a rainy day at home a sunny day at the movies $20 -$18 $1
Consider a city where everyone commutes to the city center and commuting cost per mile per month is $40. Each household occupies a 1,000-square-foot dwelling and has $7,000 worth of possessions in its dwelling. The probability that any particular household will be burglarized (involving the uninsured loss of all possessions) is 0.10 at the city center and decreases by 0.01 per mile (to 0.09 at one mile, 0.08 at two miles, and so on). The housing price is $1.00 per square foot at the city center. a) Draw the housing-price curve for locations up to five miles from the city center.
Tonight at 7pm a professional basketball game featuring the Golden State Warriors and the Washington Wizards will be played at the Chase Center, an indoor arena in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California. Our teaching assistants Yang and Guangchu are making fair bets on the game. During office hours you learn that Yang thinks the Warriors will win and believes he is making a fair bet, assigning a probability of 5/6 or 83 % to the Warriors winning. Guangchu is betting on the Wizards and also believes he is making a fair bet, assigning a probability of 7/12 or 58% to the Wizards winning. You seek to bet a total of $N with Yang and Guangchu and capture a guaranteed, risk-free arbitrage profit. Now assume that N = $240. Let x be the number of dollars bet with Yang. What is the exact range of x that guarantees that your profit is greater than or equal to zero, no matter who wins the game? O 40 < ¤ < 140 O 40 < ¤ < 24O O0 < x< 140 O0
