Concept explainers

Counting Principles

In statistics, the counting principle can be said to be the concept in which the quantity of an item is determined. There can be a single item, or a group of items, or items that are related to each other. In every possible set of items, the quantity of the possible item groups or their sorting measures can be determined with counting principles.

The game of American Roulette consists of spinning a wheel in one direction and then spinning a small ball in the other direction, see videoOpens externally [+]. The ball will eventually fall into a slot of the wheel. The wheel is divided into 38 slots. There are 36 slots numbered from 1 through 36 and 2 slots which are labeled with zero "0" and double zero "00". The zero and double zero are colored green, 18 slots are colored red, and the other 18 are colored black. See the below picture.A common bet in the game is to bet on red or black which pays even money. For example, if you bet a $1.00 on red and the ball falls into a red slot, then you win $1.00.

Let's say you have a weird relationship with a friend, where each week each of you can choose to either be a bad friend or a good friend. Then, each of you will get some amount of happiness according to the following table: You're a bad friend You're a good friend Your friend is a bad friend You get 5 happiness You get 10 happiness Your friend is a good friend You get +10 happiness You get +5 happiness 1. How would you choose whether to be a good or bad friend each week to maximize your happiness? What sort of strategy might you choose? Does it depend on what your friend chooses? We'd highly recommend looking at evolution of trust for some ideas on possible strategies. Note that you can change what you choose for different weeks.
