In a Godiva shop, 40% of the cookies are plain truffles, 20% are black truffles, 10% are cherry cookies, and 30% are a mix of all the others. Suppose you pick one at random from a prepacked bag that reflects this composition. a. What is the probability of picking a plain truffle? b. What is the probability of picking truffle of any kind? c. If you instead pick three cookies in a row, what is the probability that all three are black truffles?

In a large casino, the house wins on its blackjack tables with a probability of 50.9%. All bets at blackjack are 1 to 1, which means that if you win, you gain the amount you bet, and if you lose, you lose the amount you bet. a. If you bet $1 on each hand, what is the expected value to you of a single game? What is the house edge? b. If you played 150 games of blackjack in an evening, betting $1 on each hand, how much should you expect to win or lose? c.

2. Christiaan can go hiking, or he can stay at home. Hiking would be fun if nothing bad happens, but there is a risk if he goes hiking that he will meet a bear (not fun) or get bitten by a snake (very not fun). Christiaan decides that if there is a 5% chance of meeting a bear and a 1% chance of getting bitten by a snake, he would prefer to go hiking rather than stay at home. However, if the chance of meeting a bear is 10% and the chance of a snake bite is 5%, he definitely would rather stay at home. then (a) Consider the utility function: U (stay home) = 25, U (hike no event) = 100, U (hike & snake) -1000, U (hike & bear) = -200. Does this utility function represent Christiaan's pref- erences? Explain. (b) Suppose that the utility function in (a) does represent Christiaan's preferences. Would Christiaan prefer to hike or stay home if the probability of meeting a bear is 6% and the probability of being bitten by a snake is 4%? Show your work.

Consider the following interaction between a student and a company. The student is either serious or lazy with probabilities 1/3 and 2/3 respectively. The student knows if they are serious or not, but the company does not. Initially, the student decides whether to revise for exams or not. Revising has a cost of 1 for a serious student and 3 for a lazy one. The company observes the student's exam result (that is, whether they have made the effort to revise), and based on this, offers a salary of 3 (for a serious student) or 1 (for a lazy student). The student learns of the proposed salary and can then either accept (and earn the salary) or refuse (and earn O). They also lose the revision effort if they worked. The company's gain is equal to the student's productivity (4 if they are serious, 2 if not) minus the salary if the student accepts the offer, and O otherwise. 1. Represent the game in extensive form. 2. Show that the game has a unique perfect Bayesian Equilibrium, and provide the…

1. Mr. Smith can cause an accident, which entails a monetary loss of $1000 to Ms. Adams. The likelihood of the accident depends on the precaution decisions by both individuals. Specifically, each individual can choose either "low" or "high" precaution, with the low precaution requiring no cost and the high precaution requiring the effort cost of $200 to the individual who chooses the high precaution. The following table describes the probability of an accident for each combination of the precaution choices by the two individuals. Adams chooses low precaution Adams chooses high precaution Smith chooses low precaution Smith chooses high precaution 0.8 0.5 0.7 0.1 1) What is the socially efficient outcome? For each of the following tort rules, (i) construct a table describing the individuals' payoffs under different precaution pairs and (ii) find the equilibrium precaution choices by the individuals. 2) a) No liability b) Strict liability (with full compensation) c) Negligence rule (with…
