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.

A system contains two components, A and B. The system will function only if both components function. The probability that A functions is 0.98, the probability that B functions is 0.95, and the probability that either A or B functions is 0.99. What is the probability that the system functions?
Write the payoff matrix for the given game, use Rick as the row player. Two friends, Rick and Carl, play the following game. Each one has a coin, and each decides which side to turn up. They show the coins simultaneously and make payments according to the following. If both show heads, Rick pays Carl 50 cents. If both show tails, Rick pays Carl 25 cents. If a head and a tail show, Carl pays Rick 35 cents.
