- With regard to the law of negligence, which of the following is FALSE? Select one:, O a. If the court finds that the plaintiff was 40 percent and the defendant 60 percent responsible for the loss suffered by the plaintiff, the plaintiff cannot recover the 40 percent from the defendant. O b. Some occupiers' liability acts set the standard of care owed by the occupier-namely, to take reasonable care that any person is reasonably safe. Oc To win his action in negligence. a plaintiff must prove, among other things, that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. Oayou hurt someone and are suec for negligonde, a possible defence is that you didn't intendFor Pancreas Transplant, DRG code is 010. For DRG 010, Medicare pays fixed amount of $21,313.50. Outlier threshold for Medicare is $25,800. (a) John admitted hospital A for pancreas transplant. The charges for John’s treatment was 128,000. Cost to charge ratio for Hospital A was 0.10. How much payment hospital A would get from Medicare? (b) Bryan admitted hospital B for pancreas transplant. The charges for Bryan’s treatment was same as John, $128,000, but cost to charge ratio for Hospital B was 0.25. How much payment hospital B would get from Medicare?3. Consider the adverse selection model of health insurance. ● (a) Why is the marginal cost curve negatively sloped?
- Someone at a party pulls out a $100 bill and announces that he is going to auction it off. There are n=10 people at the partywho are potential bidders. The owner of the $100 bill puts forth the following procedure: All bidders simultaneously submit a written bid. Only the highest bidders pay their bid (assuming that the highest bid is positive). If m people submit the highest bid, then each receives 1/m of the $100. Each person’s strategy set is {0,1,2,...,1000}{0,1,2,...,1000} so bidding can go as high as $1,000. The payoff of a player bidding bi is:0 if bi < max{b1,b2,…,bn},and 100/m − bi if bi = max {b1,b2,…,bn}where,m is the number of bidders whose bid equals max{b1,...,bn}. How many pure-strategy Nash equilibria does this game have? 1) 0 2) 1 3) 4 4) More than 4.[Adverse Selection] Each of the two players receives an envelope, in which there is anamount of money that is equally distributed from $0, $1, $2, ..., $100. The amounts in twoenvelopes are independent. After receiving the envelope, each individual can check exactlyhow much money is put in his/her own envelope. Then each player has the option to exchangehis/her envelope for the other individual's prize. The decisions are made simultaneously. Ifboth individuals agree to exchange, then the envelopes are exchanged; otherwise, if at leastone player chooses not to exchange, each individual keeps his/her own envelope and receivesits attached sum of money.a. Model this game as a static Bayesian game (write the normal formrepresentation) and find the Bayesian Nash equilibrium.b. Consider a new game where the probability distribution of money in eachenvelope is changed. The amount is equal to $100 with probability 90%, and is equalto each number in $0, $1, $2, ... ,$99 with probability 0.1%.…Use the following information for questions 12-14. Assume that there are two parties, I and V. I engages in an activity that tends to injure V. V and I both can take care to reduce the expected harm from accidents. Specifically, suppose that if I takes no care (i.e., spends $0 on accident precautions), expected injury to V is $25. If I spends $5 on accident precautions, however, the expected injury to V is reduced to $18. Further suppose that V has a choice between taking no care or spending $4 in care to avoid accidents. If V spends $4 in care, V’s expected harm falls by $2 regardless of the level of care that I takes. Assume that courts adopt the socially-optimal level of injurer care as the negligence standard. That is, if I takes less than the socially-optimal level of care, she will be found negligent and must pay for all damages to V. If I takes at least the socially optimal level of care, she will not have to compensate V for his damages. What is the Nash equilibrium of this…
- John is a 55-year-old male smoker, about 50 pounds overweight, who has high blood sugar and drinks to excess. Because of adverse selection in health insurance, Select one: O a. when John gets health insurance, he will be less likely to take care of himself. O b. if John doesn't have health insurance already, he will not be able to get it. O c. when John gets health insurance, he will be more likely to take care of himself. O d. John is more likely to buy health insurance than the average person since premiums are based on the average risk. O e. John is less likely to buy health insurance than the average personsince premiums are based on the average risk.those determinations. Respond to the following questions in a minimum of 175 words: . Consider a situation that you might need to use your understanding of probability to make an informed decision. • What sorts of information would you collect? • How might you use what you have learned about probability to determine a course of action?

If you examine the decision tree in Figure 9.12 (orany other decision trees from PrecisionTree), you willsee two numbers (in blue font) to the right of each endnode. The bottom number is the combined monetaryvalue from following the corresponding path throughthe tree. The top number is the probability that thispath will be followed, given that the best strategy isused. With this in mind, explain (1) how the positiveprobabilities following the end nodes are calculated,(2) why some of the probabilities following the endnodes are 0, and (3) why the sum of the probabilitiesfollowing the end nodes is necessarily 1.
- 11)How do you go from many midpoint indicators to one endpoint indicator in LCIA, for example to DALY for different consequences for human health effects? Choose one option: 1-Uses characterization factors to convert from midpoint to endpoint. 2-Takes average of the various midpoint indicators. 3-Weights the different midpoint indicators. 4-Summarizes the endpoint indicators.1. Consider a model of unilateral care. The injurer can invest $50 in care and reduce the probability of an accident to zero or take no care and face a 10% chance that an accident causing $750 in damages occurs. a. Is it efficient for the injurer to take care in this case? b. Suppose the court could not observe whether or not the injurer took care. Would it be appropriate to for the court to invoke the res ipsa loquitur doctrine in this case?Suppose a US medical board is using marginal analysis to determine the optimal screening frequency for a specific disease. Below is the approximate number of early cases detected as you expand testing to a broarder population. Suppose further that each early detection case is considered to have a benefit of $50,000 and the cost of screening one person is $20,000. Number of people Total Number of screened in a Early Detection given a year Cases 1,000 500 2,000 1000 3,000 1400 4,000 1700 5,000 1900 The marginal benefit to screening 2 thousand people is, and 3 thousand people is 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000); 400 cases ($20,000,000) 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000); 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases O 1400 ($70,000,000) early cases; 1000 early detection cases ($50,000,000) 400 cases ($20,000,000); 500 early detection cases ($25,000,000) P
