- Consider a game where there is a $2,520 prize if a player correctly guesses the outcome of a fair 7-sided die roll.Cindy will only play this game if there is a nonnegative expected value, even with the risk of losing the payment amount.What is the most Cindy would be willing to pay?A wheel of fortune in a gambling casino has 54 different slots in which the wheel pointer can stop. Four of the 54 slots contain the number 9. For $3 bet on hitting a 9, if he or she succeeds, the gambler wins $16 plus return of the $3 bet. What is the expected value of this gambling game? (Present your answer in dollars with 2 decimal places but without $ sign)You are a coin trader. You have $1,000,000, and today one coin costs $2000. Tomorrow the coin will either cost $1000 or $4000, each with equal probability. Assume the prices are constant all day and change instantly at midnight. For each of the following, give a strategy and why it’s correct: (a) If you want to maximize the expected amount of money you have tomorrow, what should you do? (b) If you want to maximize the expected number of coins you have tomorrow, what should you do?
- You and I play the following game. Hidden from you, I put a coin in my hand: with probability p it is a 10 pence coin and otherwise it is a 20 pence coin. You now guess which coin is in my hand: you guess it is 20 pence with probability s and otherwise you guess it is a 10 pence coin. You get to win the coin if you guess correctly and otherwise win nothing. What (in terms of p and s) is your expected gain in pence from playing this game once with me? Challenge: suppose we are going to play repeatedly and you want to maximise your gain and I wish to minimise my loss. What value of p should I choose and what value of s should you choose? (This question is somewhat ill-defined, but it does have an interesting possible answer.) (Note: anything labelled "challenge" will not be part of the hand-in.)You're a contestant on a TV game show. In the final round of the game, if contestants answer a question correctly, they will increase their current winnings of $3 million to $4 million. If they are wrong, their prize is decreased to $2,250,000. You believe you have a 25% chance of answering the question correctly. Ignoring your current winnings, your expected payoff from playing the final round of the game show is. Given that this is ______________ (POSITIVE/NEGATIVE), you___________ (SHOULD/ SHOULD NOT) play the final round of the game. (Hint: Enter a negative sign if the expected payoff is negative.) The lowest probability of a correct guess that would make the guessing in the final round profitable (in expected value) is (Hint: At what probability does playing the final round yield an expected value of zero?)Question 5 You negotiate with a retailer over a contract according to which the retailer would buy a large fraction of your current production for next year. The retailer is perfectly informed about consumer demand, but you do not know whether demand is high or low. You only know that the probability for high demand is 80%. If demand is high, the retailer's profit is £5 million minus what he pays to you according to your contract. If demand is low, the retailer's profit is £3 million minus what he pays to you. Your costs of producing the output specified in the contract are £1 million. You can make sequential offers for the retailer's total payment for you to deliver a fixed quantity of your production. As you know that your competitor is also seeking a similar contract with this retailer, and the retailer can only supply one firm due to limited shelf space, you know that you can only make at most two offers. If your first offer is rejected, the retailer will strike the deal with your…

(Hint: AtQuestion D2. An Aggressor country is threatening to attack another victim country. The victim country has allies who will come to their defence if they are attacked, however, the amount of troops the ally sends can be either small or large. The victim knows how many troops will be sent but the aggressor does not, the aggressor believes the probability the force is large is p. The game faced by the countries is depicted below. Victim "Large force" Defend Capitulate Aggressor Attack (-50,-20) (100,-50) Don't Attack (0,-10) (0,0) Victim "Small force" Defend Capitulate Aggressor Attack (50,-80) (100,-50) Don't Attack (0,-10) (0,0) a) Define what it means for a game to have incomplete information and explain how a game with unknown payoffs can be thought of as such a game. b) Write down a combined payoff matrix that includes strategies for the victim that are conditional on their type and use this to work out the Bayesian-Nash Equilibria for this game.A wheel of fortune in a gambling casino has 54 different slots in which the wheel pointer can stop. Four of the 54 slots contain the number 9. For a 1 dollar bet on hitting a 9, if he or she succeeds, the gambler wins 10 dollars plus the return of the 1 dollar bet. What is the expected value of this gambling game? What is the meaning of the expected value result?
- You are evaluating the possibility that your company bids $150,000 for a particular construction job. (a) If a bid of $150,000 corresponds to a relative bid of 1.20, what is the dollar profit that your company would make from winning the job with this bid? Show your work. (b) Calculate an estimate of the expected profit of the bid of $150,000 for this job. Assume that, historically, 55 percent of the bids of an average bidder for this type of job would exceed the bid ratio of 1.20. Assume also that you are bidding against three other construction companies. Show your work.What type of risk behavior does the person exhibit who is willing to bet $60 on a game where 20% of the time the bet returns $100, and 80% of the time returns $50? Is this a fair bet? Explain.For the following questions consider this setting. The deciding shot in a soccer game comes down to a penalty shot. If the goal-keeper jumps in one corner and the striker shots the ball in the other, then it is a goal. If the goalie jumps left and the striker shoots left, then it is a goal with probability 1/3. If the goalie jumps right and the striker shots right, it is goal with probability 2/3. Say the goalie's strategy is to jump left with probability 1 and the striker shoots left with probability 0.5, then the probability of a goal is (round to two digits) If the striker shoots in either corner with probability 0.5 and the goalie likewise shoots in either corner with probability 0.5, then the probability of a goal is (round to 2 digits)
