Suppose we have an item S and 4 players. Suppose that S is divided into 4 pieces 51, s2, 53,and s4. One of the players, called P, in his opinion, valuesS1 as 12%s2 as 27%S4 as 43%Which pieces are Not fair shares to P?$3 as 18%$2 and s4 are fair shares for player P$2 and s4 are NOT fair shares for player P$1 and s3 are NOT fair shares for player PS1 and s3 are fair shares for player P

S has 4 players. So for fair share for a player P =1004%=25% Then, above 25%, all shares are fair.

Answered: Suppose we have an item S and 4…

Three players enter a room and are given a red or a blue hat to wear. The color of each hat is determined by a fair coin toss. Players cannot see the color of their own hats, but do see the color of the other two players' hats. The game is won when at least one of the players correctly guesses the color of his own hat and no player gives an incorrect answer. In addition to having the opportunity to guess a color, players may also pass. Communication of any kind between players is not permissible after they have been given hats; however, they may agree on a group strategy beforehand. The players decided upon the following strategy. A player who sees that the other two players wear a hat with the same color guesses the opposite color for his/her own hat; otherwise, the player says nothing. What is the probability of winning the game under this strategy?
At a county fair, you pay $2 to play the following game: You are given a fair coin, and two bags standin front of you, labelled Bag A and Bag B. You flip a coin: If your coin lands Heads, you pick a ballfrom Bag A. If your coin lands tails, you pick a ball from Bag B. Each ball has a dollar value written onit, and you win the number of dollars shown on the ball. • Bag A contains four (4) balls in total: Three (3) balls show $1, and one (1) ball shows $5.• Bag B contains three (3) balls in total: Two (2) balls show $2, and one (1) ball shows $3.You WIN money if you leave with more money than you started with. You LOSE money if you leavewith less money than you started with. You BREAK EVEN if you leave with the same money that youstarted with.Let H denote the event that you flip heads, T denote the event that you flip tails, W the event that youwin, and L the event that you lose.(i) You pay to play exactly one game. What is the probability that you WIN given thatyou flipped a Heads?(ii)…
Zara and Sue play the following game. Each of them roll a fair six-sided die once. If Sue’s number is greater than or equal to Zara’s number, she wins the game. But if Sue rolled a number smaller than Zara’s number, then Zara rolls the die again. If Zara’s second roll gives a number that is less than or equal to Sue’s number, the game ends with a draw. If Zara’s second roll gives a number larger than Sue’s number, Zara wins the game. Find the probability that Zara wins the game and the probability that Sue wins the game. Note: Sue only rolls a die once. The second roll, if the game goes up to that point, is made only by Zara.
You are playing a card game. If you pull an Ace you win $71, if you pull the King of hearts you win $101, if you pull a jack or a queen you win $37, all other pulls you lose. What price should you be charged to make this a fair game? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
In this game, two chips are placed in a cup. One chip has two red sides and one chip has a red and a blue side. The player shakes the cup and dumps out the chips. The player wins if both chips land red side up and loses if one chip lands red side up and one chip lands blue side up. The cost to play is $4 and the prize is worth $6. Is this a fair game.
A game involves drawing a single card from a standard deck. The player receives $10 for an ace, $5 for a king, and $1 for a red card that is neither an ace nor a king. Otherwise, the player receives nothing. If the cost of each draw is $2, should you play? Explain your answer mathematically.
You need to borrow money for gas, so you ask your mother and your sister. You can only borrow money from one of them. Before giving you money, they each say they will make you play a game. Your sister says she wants you to roll a six-sided die. She will give you $⁢4 times the number that appears on the die. Your mother says she wants you to spin a spinner with two outcomes, blue and red, on it. She will give you $⁢5 if the spinner lands on blue and $⁢15 if the spinner lands on red. Determine the expected value of each game and decide which offer you should take. The expected value for your sister's game: $$ The expected value for your mother's game: $$ Which offer should you take?
At a back-to-school party, one of your friends lets you play a two-stage game where you pay $3 to play. The game works as follows: flip a fair coin, noting the side showing, and roll a fair standard 4-sided die (numbered 1–4), noting the number showing. If the die shows a 3 and the coin shows tails, then you win $22. If the coin shows heads and the die shows an even number, then you win $9. Otherwise, you do not win anything. Let X be your net winnings. (a) Create a probability distribution for X. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. All probabilities should be exact. X P(X) (b) Compute your expected net winnings for the game. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
You are using cash to pay a $20 parking ticket. In your wallet you have one $5-dollar bill, three $10-dollar bills, and two $20 dollar bills, and you draw out one bill at a time at random until you have at least $20. If you keep track of each bill as you draw it out of the wallet, how many different ways are there for you to get at least $20?
Toward the end of a game of Scrabble you hold the letters D,O,G and Q. You can choose three of these four letters and arrange them in order in how many different ways?
One option in a roulette game is to bet $7 on red. (There are 18 red compartments, 18 black compartments, and two compartments that are neither red nor black.) If the ball lands on red, you get to keep the $7 you paid to play the game and you are awarded $7. If the ball lands elsewhere, you are awarded nothing and the $7 that you bet is collected. Complete parts (a) through (b) below. III a. What is the expected value for playing roulette if you bet $7 on red? $ (Round to the nearest cent.) b. What does this expected value mean? Choose the correct statement below. O A. This value represents the expected loss over the long run for each game played. OB. Over the long run, the player can exper to break even. OC. This value represents the expected win over the long run for each game played.
We survey 200 students, and ask each whether they like donuts, pizza, and/or tacos. Every student liked at least one of them. - 100 students liked donuts - 80 students liked pizza - 100 students liked tacos - 10 students liked all three options How many students liked exactly two of the options? Type your answer.
