Using Equation g >= 1-1/N, graph the relationship between the number of firms in the market, N, and probability, g, that the game continues from one period to the next, needed to sustain collusion in an indefinitely repeated game. What is the greatest number of firms for which collusion would be sustainable. if g = 0.95

Sasha volunteers in community events each month. She does not do more than five events in a month. She attends exactly five events 35% of the time, four events 25% of the time, three events 20% of the time, two events 10% of the time, one event 5% of the time, and no events 5% of the time. Find the probability that Sasha volunteers for less than three events each month. P(x<3)=
Assume that a website www.funwithmath1600.ag has three pages: • Page A: King Algebra • Page B: Learn1600andWin Page C: Linear AlgbraIsEverywhere Each page has some links to the other pages of this website and no pages links to any page outside this website. • Page A has three links to page B and only one link to page C. • Page B has three links to page A and two links to page C. • Page C has one link to page A and two links to page B. A student decides to explore this website starting from page A. Since reading content is always a boring task (is it?!) they decide to choose one of the links in page A with equal probability and click on the link to see the next page. As a result, on the next step, they will end up on page B with probability 3/4 and on the page C with probability 1/4. This process is then continued by the student with the same rule: Go the next page by clicking, with equal probability, on one of the existing links that are on the present page.

A probability distribution gives the possible values of the random variable and the probabilities of each random variable. Probabilities have to be between 0 and 1. The sum of all the probabilities has to be 1. Additionally, the different values for the random variable are disjoint possibilities. In other words P(Xa and X - b) = 0 if a and b are different outcomes. Fill in the missing value for the probability distribution. P(X) 0.151 X 3 4 5 What is P(X-6)? 0.04 0.026 ?
Your probability professor has a tabby cat who sleeps 34% of the time and seems to respond to stimuli more or less randomly. If a human pets her when she’s awake, she will request more petting 8% of the time, food 38% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. If a human pets her when she’s asleep, she will request more petting 33% of the time, food 41% of the time, and a game of fetch the rest of the time. (You can assume that the humans don’t pet her disproportionally often when she’s awake.) • If the cat requests food when petted, what is the probability that she was asleep? • If the cat requests a game of fetch when petted, what is the probability that she was not asleep?

Becky and Carla take an advanced yoga class. Becky can hold 29% of her poses for over a minute, while Carla can hold 35% of her poses for over a minute. Suppose each yoga student is asked to hold 50 poses. Let B the proportion of poses Becky can hold for over a minute and C = the proportion of poses Carla can hold for over a minute. What is the probability that Becky's proportion of poses held for over a minute is greater than Carla's? Find the z-table here.

Suppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000. There is a 60%60% chance of economic growth and a 40%40% chance of recession. The probability of discovering oil is 44%44% when there is economic growth and 32%32% when there is a recession. If there is economic growth and the oil company discovers oil, the value of the land will triple. If they do not discover oil, the value of the land will decrease by 10%.10%. If there is a recession and the company discovers oil, the value of the land will increase by 50%.50%. If they do not discover oil, the land will decrease in value by 75%.75%. What is the expected value of the investment? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Avoid rounding within calculations. $$ Select the correct interpretation of the expected value. The expected value represents what the actual investment value will be for this land purchase of $10,000,000. The company should make the investment because the expected value…

An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option willbe worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will closein the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below20. a) Create a valid probability table.b) How much should the trader expect to gain or lose?c) Should the trader buy the stock? Why?

The manager of a small grocery store must decide how many loaves of bread to stock each day. The store has never sold less than 11, nor more than 14 loaves. The cost per loaf is R3, and the retail price is R5. At the end of each day, any unsold bread is given away to the street children’s home. Determine the best action without probabilities
