umbrella. You assign the following utilities to the outcomes of taking the umbrella: [if it rains and you stay dry but you’ve carried the umbrella = 30; if it doesn’t rain but you’ve carried the umbrella = 20]. You assign the following utilities for the outcomes of not taking the umbrella: [if it doesn’t rain and you didn’t have to carry anything = 40; if it rains and you get wet but didn’t have to carry anything = 4]. So your decision tree looks like this: Should you take the umbrella?

Annie and Bert play the following game. They shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Annie flips the cards one by one until she finds a red ace. After that Bert takes the remaining deck and flips the cards one by one until he finds the other red ace. Annie wins if she flipped fewer cards than bert, bert wins if he flipped fewer cards than Annie. It's a tie if they draw the same number of cards. X1 = number of cards Annie flipped, X2= number of cards Bert flipped. X3= 53- X1 - X2. How can you show that (X1, X2, X3) is exchangeable? Who has a higher probability of winning this game?

The game show host tells you that behind one of these doors is a million dollars in cash, and that behind the other two doors there are trashes. You do not know which doors contain which prizes, but the game show host does. The game you are going to play is very simple: you pick one of the three doors and win the prize behind it. After you have made your selection, the game show host opens one of the two doors that you did not choose and reveals trash. At this point, you are given the option to either stick with your original door or switch your choice to the only remaining closed door.
