- 46. You are making several runs of a simulation model,each with a different value of some decision variable(such as the order quantity in the Walton calendarmodel), to see which decision value achieves thelargest mean profit. Is it possible that one value beatsanother simply by random luck? What can you do tominimize the chance of a “better” value losing out toa “poorer” value?The preference of an agents on lotteries can be represented by an expected utility function u such that u(x) = 3y^1/2 -10. Then the agent is A) not risk averse B) risk loving C) risk neutral D) risk averse E) NOPACAn electronics factory operates on four production lines: laptops, mobiles, desktop computers, smart boards, and there were three cases of demand (weak, medium, and high), and the matrix of returns was as follows: Laptops Mobiles Risk Desktop Computers Smart Boards High 40 45 35 30 Economic state Medium 25 15 30 20 1.

- 2. Let U(w) denote the utility function for an investor. (a) If the investor is non-satiated, what property must U(w) have? (b) If the investor is risk-neutral, what property must U(w) have? (c) Let X be a fair gamble. Suppose that an investor is risk-seeking. What would the investor prefer between X and the empty portfolio (i.e. making no investment)?Refer to the payoff table below of profits in ($000). Which decision alternative results from using the Conservative (Pessimestic) Decision Rule? PAYOFF TABLE High Demand Small Medium Large 35 300 550 -10 Moderate Demand 35 150 75 -10 Low Demand Do Nothing O A. Large O B. Do nothing OC. Medium O D. Small O E. Cannot be determined since relative frequencies are missing. 35 50 -45 -10You have 5 and your opponent has 10. You flip a fair coin and if heads comes up, your opponent pays you 1. If tails comes up, you pay your opponent 1. The game is finished when one player has all the money or after 100 tosses, whichever comes first. Use simulation to estimate the probability that you end up with all the money and the probability that neither of you goes broke in 100 tosses.
- A martingale betting strategy works as follows. You begin with a certain amount of money and repeatedly play a game in which you have a 40% chance of winning any bet. In the first game, you bet 1. From then on, every time you win a bet, you bet 1 the next time. Each time you lose, you double your previous bet. Currently you have 63. Assuming you have unlimited credit, so that you can bet more money than you have, use simulation to estimate the profit or loss you will have after playing the game 50 times.In this version of dice blackjack, you toss a single die repeatedly and add up the sum of your dice tosses. Your goal is to come as close as possible to a total of 7 without going over. You may stop at any time. If your total is 8 or more, you lose. If your total is 7 or less, the house then tosses the die repeatedly. The house stops as soon as its total is 4 or more. If the house totals 8 or more, you win. Otherwise, the higher total wins. If there is a tie, the house wins. Consider the following strategies: Keep tossing until your total is 3 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 4 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 5 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 6 or more. Keep tossing until your total is 7 or more. For example, suppose you keep tossing until your total is 4 or more. Here are some examples of how the game might go: You toss a 2 and then a 3 and stop for total of 5. The house tosses a 3 and then a 2. You lose because a tie goes to the house. You toss a 3 and then a 6. You lose. You toss a 6 and stop. The house tosses a 3 and then a 2. You win. You toss a 3 and then a 4 for total of 7. The house tosses a 3 and then a 5. You win. Note that only 4 tosses need to be generated for the house, but more tosses might need to be generated for you, depending on your strategy. Develop a simulation and run it for at least 1000 iterations for each of the strategies listed previously. For each strategy, what are the two values so that you are 95% sure that your probability of winning is between these two values? Which of the five strategies appears to be best?Based on Marcus (1990). The Balboa mutual fund has beaten the Standard and Poors 500 during 11 of the last 13 years. People use this as an argument that you can beat the market. Here is another way to look at it that shows that Balboas beating the market 11 out of 13 times is not unusual. Consider 50 mutual funds, each of which has a 50% chance of beating the market during a given year. Use simulation to estimate the probability that over a 13-year period the best of the 50 mutual funds will beat the market for at least 11 out of 13 years. This probability turns out to exceed 40%, which means that the best mutual fund beating the market 11 out of 13 years is not an unusual occurrence after all.
- You now have 10,000, all of which is invested in a sports team. Each year there is a 60% chance that the value of the team will increase by 60% and a 40% chance that the value of the team will decrease by 60%. Estimate the mean and median value of your investment after 50 years. Explain the large difference between the estimated mean and median.The game of Chuck-a-Luck is played as follows: You pick a number between 1 and 6 and toss three dice. If your number does not appear, you lose 1. If your number appears x times, you win x. On the average, use simulation to find the average amount of money you will win or lose on each play of the game.In Example 11.1, the possible profits vary from negative to positive for each of the 10 possible bids examined. a. For each of these, use @RISKs RISKTARGET function to find the probability that Millers profit is positive. Do you believe these results should have any bearing on Millers choice of bid? b. Use @RISKs RISKPERCENTILE function to find the 10th percentile for each of these bids. Can you explain why the percentiles have the values you obtain?
