With this notation, 2.3045 Q would be a double flush since every card is a diamond and a heart. • Wild Cards: A wild card counts as having every suit and every denomination. Denote wild cards with a W; if there are multiple, we will denote them W₁, W2, etc. With this notation, W2 20.30054 would be both a three-of-a-kind (three 2's) and a flush (5 diamonds). If we add multiple wild cards to the deck, they count as distinct cards, so that (e.g.) the following two hands count as "different hands" when counting: W15 5Q and W255◊♡♡♣♣ In addition, 1.

- In a classic oil-drilling example, you are trying to decide whether to drill for oil on a field that might or might not contain any oil. Before making this decision, you have the option of hiring a geologist to perform some seismic tests and then predict whether there is any oil or not. You assess that if there is actually oil, the geologist will predict there is oil with probability 0.85 . You also assess that if there is no oil, the geologist will predict there is no oil with probability 0.90. Please answer the two questions below, as I am trying to ensure that I am correct. 1. Why will these two probabilities not appear on the decision tree? 2. Which probabilities will be on the decision tree?arrow_forwardAsap pleasearrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forward

Use yearly data from FRED website from 1971 to 2020: (i) The Canadian Dollars to U.S. Dollar Spot Exchange Rate (ER) (ii) Consumer price index for Canada (CAN_CPI), and (iii) Consumer price index for the US (US_CPI). Inflation is measured by the consumer price index (CPI). The relative PPP equation is: AE CAN$/US$ ECAN$/US$ = π CAN - πUS Submit the Excel sheet that you worked on. 1. First, compute the percentage change in the exchange rate (left-hand side of the equation). Caculate the variable for each year from 1972 to 2020 in Column E (named Change_ER) of the Excel sheet. For example, for 1972, compute E3: (B3-B2)/B2). ER1972 ER1971 ER 1971 (in Excel, the formula in cellarrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forward

From the analysis of Joy's various outlets, it was found that the demand curve follows this pattern: Q=200-300P+1201 +657-250A +400A; where Q = number of cups served per week P = average price paid for each cup I = per capita income in the given market (thousands) Taverage outdoor temperature A competition's monthly advertising expenditures (thousands) = A; = Joy's own monthly advertising expenditures (thousands) One of the outlets has the following conditions: P = 1.50, I = 10, T = 60, A₁ = 15, A; = 10 1. Estimate the number of cups served per week by this outlet. Also determine the outlet's demand curve. 2. What would be the effect of a $5,000 increase in the competitor's advertising expenditure? Illustrate the effect on the outlet's demand curve. 3.
