Suppose that a decision maker's risk atitude toward monetary gains or losses x given by the utility function(x) = (50,000+x) 34/2. Suppose that a decision maker has the choice of buying a lottery ticket
for $5, or not. Suppose that the lottery winning is $1,000,000, and the chance of winning is one in a thousand. Then.....
O The decision maker should not buy the ticket, as the utility from not buying is 223.6, and the expected utility from buying is 223.59.
The decision maker should not buy the ticket, as the utility from not buying is 223.6067, and the expected utility from buyingis 223.6065.
O The decision maker should buy the ticket, as the utility from not buying 223.60, and the utility from buying is 224.4.
The decision maker should buy the ticket, as the utility from not buying 223.6065, and the utility from buying is 223.6067.

Three couples and two single individuals have been invited to an investment seminar and have agreed to attend. Suppose the probability that any particular couple or individual arrives late is 0.41 (a couple will
travel together in the same vehicle, so either both people will be on time or else both will arrive late). Assume that different couples and individuals are on time or late independently of one another. Let X = the
number of people who arrive late for the seminar.
(a) Determine the probability mass function of X. [Hint: label the three couples #1, #2, and #3 and the two individuals #4 and #5.] (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
