Suppose a group of people were tested for a disease and asked about their smoking status. Consider these results: 10 people tested positive and said they were smokers, 15 people tested negative and said they were smokers, 14 people tested positive and were nonsmokers, and 21 tested negative and said they were nonsmokers. These are summarized in the following table: Smoker Nonsmoker Positive 10 14 Negative 15 21 Consider selecting a person at random from this group. Let A denote the event that the person is a smoker and B be the event that they tested positive. Are A and B independent?

Ex 8. An airline's data indicate that 50 percent of people who begin the online process of booking a flight never complete the process and pay for the flight. To reduce this percentage, the airline is considering changing its website so that the entire booking process, including flight and seat selection and payment, can be done on two simple pages rather than the current four pages. A random sample of 300 customers who begin the booking process are exposed to the new system, and 117 of them do not complete the process. a. Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses needed to attempt to provide evidence that the new system has reduced the noncompletion percentage. b. Use critical values to perform the hypothesis test by setting α equal to .10, .05, .01, and .001

.A researcher is collecting individual data by asking visitors in a train station in a medium sized town to fill in a questionnaire. It takes nearly 30 minutes to complete the survey questions. To encourage higher participation rate, the researcher provides a small financial incentive that is enough to buy a sandwich. The researcher wants to use this sample to make predictions about effect of using social media on health among the residents of the town. a. Explain the random sampling assumption, that is one of the Gauss-Markov assumptions for linear regressions. b. Do you think this assumption is satisfied in the sample collected by the researcher? c. What are the possible consequences of violation of random sampling assumption for predictions based on this sample?

Static Bayesian Games] We consider a games with 2 players. Player 1 has only asingle type; however, Player 2 can have two types I and D, each with probability 50%. Bothplayers have two actions available to them. The game has the following payoffs (P1 is the rowplayer, P2 the column player):

During 2009-2012, the U.S. federal government shut off the water supply to a huge section of farmland in the California Central Valley. The result was that tens of thousands of acres of good farmland have turned into desert land and many farmers went bankrupt. This is a good example of a positive externaility. True or False True False
Exercise 1.4. There are two players. Each player is given an unmarked envelope and asked to put in it either nothing or $300 of his own money or $600. A referee collects the envelopes, opens them, gathers all the money, then adds 50% of that amount (using his own money) and divides the total into two equal parts which he then distributes to the players. (a) Represent this game frame with two alternative tables: the first table showing in each cell the amount of money distributed to Player 1 and the amount of money distributed to Player 2, the second table showing the change in wealth of each player (money received minus contribution). (b) Suppose that Player 1 has some animosity towards the referee and ranks the outcomes in terms of how much money the referee loses (the more, the better), while Player 2 is selfish and greedy and ranks the outcomes in terms of her own net gain. Represent the corresponding game using a table. (c) Is there a strict dominant-strategy equilibrium?
