A tennis tournament has 8 players (laddered tournament). The number a player draws from a hat decides his first-round rung in the tournament ladder. Suppose that the best player always defeats the next best and that the latter always defeats all the rest. The loser of the finals gets the runner-up cup. What is the chance that the second-best player wins the runner-up cup? 1/2 5/8 4/7 1/3

14.1-3. Consider the following parlor game to be played between two players. Each player begins with three chips: one red, one white, and one blue. Each chip can be used only once. To begin, each player selects one of her chips and places it on the table, concealed. Both players then uncover the chips and determine the payoff to the winning player. In particular, if both players play the same kind of chip, it is a draw; otherwise, the fol- lowing table indicates the winner and how much she receives from the other player. Next, each player selects one of her two remain- ing chips and repeats the procedure, resulting in another payoff ac- cording to the following table. Finally, each player plays her one remaining chip, resulting in the third and final payoff. Winning Chip Payoff ($) Red beats white 90 White beats blue 70 Blue beats red 50 Matching colors

b) Pretend that s for any measu made and us Task 2 A cell phone tower has been erected near your property. The council claims that the tower is 50m high. Your neighbour is convinced that it is quite a lot more than this. She wants to investigate. The tower is in the centre of a fenced enclosure. You have a surveying friend that has a theodolite (an instrument for measuring vertical and horizontal angles). The theodolite stands on a tripod 1.2m above the ground. a) Draw a diagram and give instructions in detail for your neighbour, telling her how to go about working out whether or not the tower is 50m high. Explain what measurements she needs to make and what calculations she would then carry out. Assume she knows how to use the theodolite to calculate an angle of elevation.
