Recall Pigou's example discussed in class, where there are two roads that connect a source, s, and destination, t. The roads have different travel costs. Fraction ₁ of the traffic flow on route 1, and the remainder x₂ on route 2. Here consider the following scenario. • The first road has "infinite" capacity but is slow and requires 1 hour travel time, T₁ = 1. • The second road always requires at least 15 mins, which then increases as a function of traffic density, T₂ = 0.25 +0.752. If drivers act in a "selfish" manner - the user optimal scenario - all the traffic will flow on the second path, as one is never worse off. Worst case scenario for path 2, both paths take one hour. So no one is incentivized to change their behavior. 1. Assume user optimal behavior, and calculate 7 the expected travel time per car. 2. If instead we could control the flows, we could minimize the expected travel time. Using the expression in part (a), calculate the optimal allocation of flows ₁ and ₂ that minimize the expected travel time per car. 3. What is Tm, the expected travel time when the flow is optimized?

Computer Science A study conducted by Netflix’s consumer relations department has revealed that customers are more likely to review horror and thriller movies during certain months of the year. To discourage seasonal variations in these movie ratings, Netflix has called for your help to analyze horror and thriller movie rating counts over the past 15 years. Your query should display each month of the year (name of the month not the number) and the total number of ratings given during that month. A third column titled “Promotion Recommendation” determines whether a promotion should be applied to increase the number of ratings given during that month. If a month has less than 2200 ratings the final column should display ‘10% discount promotion’, if between 2201 and 4500 then display ‘5% discount promotion’, and if more than 4500 ratings then output ‘No Promotion’. Order your results by months. Do not hardcode the current date. ORALCE CODE PLEASE.
