Chapter 3, Problem 20E

Suppose that Paula is the divider and David is the chooser.

a. Is the cut shown in $\underset{\_}{\text{Fig}.3-21\left(\text{b}\right)}$ a possible 50-50 cut that Paula might have made as the divider? If so, describe the share David should choose and give the value (as a percent) of that share to David. If the cut is not a 50-50 cut, give the values of the two shares to Paula.

b. Is the cut shown in $\underset{\_}{\text{Fig}.3-21\left(\text{c}\right)}$ a possible 50-50 cut that Paula might have made as the divider? If so, describe the share David should choose and give the value (as a percent) of that share to David. If the cut is not a 50-50 cut, give the values of the two shares to Paula.

c. Is the cut shown in $\underset{\_}{\text{Fig}.3-21\left(\text{c}\right)}$ a possible 50-50 cut that Paula might have made as the divider? If so, describe the share David should choose and give the value (as a percent) of that share to David. If the cut is not a 50-50 cut, give the values of the two shares to Paula.
