A politician can emphasize jobs or the
environment in her election campaign. The
voters can be concerned about jobs or the
environment. A payoff matrix showing the utility
of each possible outcome is shown. The political
analysts feel there is a 0.51 chance that the
voters will emphasize jobs.
Voters

Write the payoff matrix for the given game, use Rachel as the row player.
Two players, Rachel and Charlie, each have two cards. Rachel has one black card with the number 3 and one red card with the number 5. Charlie has a black card with a 6 written on it and a red card with a 1. They each select one of their cards and simultaneously show the cards. If the cards are the same color, Rachel gets, in dollars, the sum of the two numbers shown. If the cards are different colors, Charlie gets, in dollars, the difference of the two numbers shown.

- FRQ #2: A certain company makes three grades (A, B, and C) of a particular electrical component. Historically, grade A components have a 2 percent defective rate, grade B components have a 5 percent defective rate, and grade C components have a 10 percent defective rate. Since grade A components are less likely to be defective, the company can charge more money for those components than it can charge for the grade B or C components. Similarly, the company can charge more money for grade B components than it can charge for grade C components. Recently, the company found a batch of components in a warehouse that were known to be of the same grade, but the grade was not labeled on the components. To determine the grade (A, B, or C), the company selected from that batch a random sample of 200 components, which contained 16 defective components. a) Construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of defective components in the batch. b)Does the interval calculated…arrow_forwardPlease provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided in the photos below.arrow_forwardA certain company makes three grades (A, B, and C) of a particular electrical component.
