Suppose you play a game where you spin a spinner with areas of the colors on the spinner broken down as shown: 10% blue, 60% green, and 30% red. In addition, if the spinner lands on red you win 6 pesos, if it lands on blue you win 1 peso, and if it lands on the green you lose. If you keep spinning, how much would you expect to win or lose per game, if you pay 1 peso to play the game?
A. Lose 0.90 peso
B. Gain 0.90 peso

A three-finger Morra game is a game in which two players simultaneously show one, two, or three fingers at each round. The outcome depends on a predetermined set of rules. Here is an interesting example: If the numbers of fingers shown by A and B differ by 1, then A loses one point. If they differ by more than 1, the round is a draw. If they show the same number of fingers, A wins an amount equal to the sum of the fingers shown.
Determine the optimal strategy for each player. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.)
Player A should show one finger with probability _____ , two fingers with probability _____ , and three fingers with probability ______ .
Player B should show one finger with probability _______ , two fingers with probability ________ , and three fingers with probability ________ .
Find the expected value of the game.
The expected outcome is the player A will win __________ points per round, on average.

- Morra is a hand game that dates back thousands of years to ancient Roman and Greek times. Two people called Even (E) and Odd (O) simultaneously reveal a number of fingers. Each one can choose the number of fingers (or more simply, they want to show even or odd number of fingers). If the total number of fingers is even, E wins two dollar from O: Ifthe total number of fingers is odd, O wins one dollar from E. For example, if E chooses three fingers andO chooses two fingers, then O wins one dollars from E. 1. Write down the payoff matrix of the game. 2. What is the optimal strategy for E and O? Formulate the problem as a LP and solve for the optimal strategies by the Simplex Method.arrow_forwardplease hekp mearrow_forwardRoulette is one of the most common games played in gambling casinos in Las Vegas and elsewhere. An American roulette wheel has slots marked with the numbers from 1 to 36 as well as 0 and 00 (the latter is called "double zero"). Half of the slots marked 1 to 36 are colored red and the other half are black. (The 0 and 00 are colored green.) With each spin of the wheel, the ball lands in one of these 38 slots. One of the many possible roulette bets is to bet on the color of the slot that the ball will land on (red or black). If a player bets on red, he wins if the outcome is one of the 18 red outcomes, and he loses if the outcome is one of the 18 black outcomes or is O or 00. So, when betting on red, there are 18 outcomes in which the player wins and 20 outcomes in which the player loses. Therefore, when betting on red, the probability of winning is 18/38 and the probability of losing is 20/38. When betting on red, the payout for a win is "1 to 1". This means that the player gets their…arrow_forward
- An archery target consists of a gold circle with radius of 5 inches surrounded by a red ring whose diameter is 20 inches. Next, there are three progressively larger rings – blue, black, and white. The diameter of each ring is 10 inches larger than the diameter of the previous ring. John is a beginner so his aim is poor and, if his arrow hits the target, its location on the target is completely at random. John shoots and then yells, “I hit it!” Without using your calculator, find the following probabilities. Write the answers as a percentage. a) The probability his arrow landed in the gold circle is ______. b) The probability his arrow landed in the white area is ______. c) The probability his arrow landed in the red or the blue area is ______.arrow_forwardA game consists of spinning a wheel that is divided into 8 differently colored sectors (red, blue, yellow, violet, orange, green, black, and white).

- The game Capture is played by two players, First and Second, who take turns to move towards one another on a narrow bridge. Initially, the two players are at opposite ends of the bridge, at a distance of n feet from each other. (Here n is an arbitrary positive integer.) When it is their turn, they are allowed to jump 1, 2, or 3 feet toward each other. The game starts by First making a move first; the game is over when one player is able to capture (jump on top of) the other player. Generalize the problem further to the case when the initial distance is n feetand the players are allowed to jump any (positive) integer number of feet up to k feet. (Here n and k are arbitrary natural numbers.)arrow_forward2.)A jar contains 2 red, 3 green, and 6 blue marbles. In a game a player closes their eyes, reaches into the jar and randomly chooses two marbles. The player wins the game if at least one of their marbles is red.
