Question: What do the team leader's repsonses indicate about his attitude to risk and the relative weight which he attcahes to the two attributes of the proposed design? The leader of Lightning's research and development team has estimated that if the plastic design isdeveloped there is a 60% chance that the resulting system would add 130 grams to a bicycle's weightand would have a guaranteed lifetime of 1 year. He also reckons that there is a 40% chance that aproduct with a 2-year lifetime could be developed, but this would weigh 180 grams.Alternatively, if the metal design was developed the team leader estimates that there is a 70% chancethat a product with a 2-year guaranteed life and weighing 250 grams could be developed. However, heestimates that there is a 30% chance that the resulting product would have a guaranteed lifetime of 3years and would weigh 290 grams.It was established that, for the team leader, weight and guaranteed lifetime were mutually utilityindependent. The following utilities were then elicited from him:Weight (grams)130180250290Utility1.00.90.60Guaranteed lifetime(years)321Utility1.00.60After further questioning the team leader indicated that he would be indifferent between thefalle

The team leader's responses suggest that they are relatively risk-averse. They are indifferent…

8. 6. Silvio can't find his keys. He suspects they re either in his car or in his apartment. His personal probability is 6/10 that they're in one of those two places. But he searched his car top to bottom and didn't find them, so his personal probability that they're in his car is only 1/10. On the other hand, his apartment is messy and most of the time when he can't find something, it's buried somewhere in the apartment. So his personal probability that the keys are in his apartment is 3/5. Explain how to make a Dutch book against Silvio.

There are more than 2 events B. The outcomes are not equally likely C. His estimate is not rounded to 3 decimal places D. If he were to do a different set of 500 trials, he might win 180 times and calculate a different value of P(winning)
