Gary likes to gamble. Donna offers to bet him $54 on the outcome of a boat race. If Gary's boat wins, Donna would give him $54. If Gary's boat does not win, Gary would give her $54. Gary's utility function is p₁x² +p2x², where p₁ and på are the probabilities of events 1 and 2 and where x₁ and X2 are his wealth if events 1 and 2 occur respectively. Gary's total wealth is currently only $80 and he believes that the probability that he will win the race is 0.4. Which of the following is correct? (please submit the number corresponding to the correct answer).

3. Consider a home energy storage (battery) system that can store up to 2 units of energy. At every time step, there is a demand for energy in the home which is drawn from 0,1,2 units with equal probability independent of the demands in the previous time steps. At every point in time, you have to satisfy the demand either by discharging the needed energy from the battery or purchasing power from the grid (or a combination of the two). You could also choose to purchase power from the grid to charge your battery. The grid energy price is either H(igh) or L(ow) according to a Markov chain (Price moves from H to L with probability p, and from L to H with probability q). (a) Model the decision making as an infinite horizon MDP where the objective is to minimize the discounted cost of energy purchased over an infinite horizon. (b) Write down a policy a of your choosing. Perform two steps of the operator T, for your policy, followed by one step of T..
A Define "supply." 9.( The definition of supply is very similar to that of demand. Supply is a schedule which shows the various amounts of a product sellers are at each price in a series of possible prices during a specified period, other things being equal. Supply portrays relationship between ( related either in the table or in the (graph). ) and ( ) to produce and offer for sale ) and ( ), they are (directly, inversely) S Describe and give a reason for the law of supply. The law of supply indicates that producers will produce and sell (more, less ) of their product at a high price than at a low price. This means that there is a positive, negative ) relationship between price and quantity supplied. The basic explanation is that, given product costs, a higher price means greater profits and thus more incentive for business to increase the quantity supplied.
Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?
