If ExxonMobil invests in Venezuela's oil fields, it runs the risk
that Venezuela will later partially nationalize the assets.
The payoffs are represented in the game tree illustrated in
the figure to the right
Nationalize
(24,96)
Suppose that the parties could initially agree to a binding
contract that Venezuela would pay ExxonMobil x dollars if it
nationalizes the oil fields. How large does x have to be for
ExxonMobil to invest in Venezuela?
Government
Venezuela
(60,60)
Don't nationalize
ExxonMobil
The value of x would have to be at least equal to $ for
ExxonMobil to invest in Venezuela (Enter your response as

The standard Tower of Hanoi game is with three pegs andn disks of different sizes that are stacked one on top of the
other, with the largest at the bottom. The goal of the game is to be able to re-stack the disks in the target peg with the
condition that one can only move one disk at a time and that a larger disk cannot be placed on top of a smaller one If T(n)
denotes the minimum number of moves in the game, which is the recurrence relation that corresponds to the said game?
A
TIn) = 2 T(n-1) + 1, T(1) = 1
TIn) = 2 T(n- 1) + 1, 7(0) = 1
© T(n) = 2T(n- 1) + 1, 7(0) = 2
T(n) = 2 T(n- 1) + 1, T(1) = 2
Consider a two-player game that is set up with two piles of stones. The two players are taking turns removing stones from one of the two piles. In each turn, a player must choose a pile and remove one stone or two stones from it. The player who removes the last stone (making both piles empty) wins the game. Show that if the two piles contain the same number n ∈ Z+ of stones initially, then the second player can always guarantee a win.

Tyler currently has 32 points and likes to pick up the red sticks, earning 8 points every turn. His cousin just lost all her points on the previous turn, and has a strategy to catch up by getting all the teal ones, earning 9 points per turn. In a certain number of turns, the score will be tied.

- Suppose you are playing a friendly game of Dungeons and Dragons with your friends. One part of the game involves rolling a 20-sided die in order to ‘succeed’ at various actions. If your roll is higher than a predetermined value, then you succeed. If your roll is lower than the predetermined value, you fail. In the game you sometimes have the opportunity to roll with ‘advantage’. When rolling with advantage, you get to roll your die twice and choose the larger of the two outcomes. If rolling with advantage, what is the probability of rolling a critical success (getting a 20 on at least one of the two rolls)?arrow_forward2.)A jar contains 2 red, 3 green, and 6 blue marbles. In a game a player closes their eyes, reaches into the jar and randomly chooses two marbles. The player wins the game if at least one of their marbles is red. Suppose it costs $1 to play the game and the winning prize is $3. Mathematically analyze this game and determine if it is in your financial interest to play the game.arrow_forwardIn the "normal version" of a game called NIM, there are two players. At the start, two piles of matches are placed on the table in front of them, each containing two matches. In turn, the players take any (positive) number of matches from one of the piles. The player taking the last match wins. Assuming optimal play, which player is sure to win in this game? O The winner cannot be determined. O Player 1 O Player 2arrow_forward
- You are playing a single joint game with all your fellow students where you have to choose an integer from (0,1,2, .100}. A player's payoff depends on the distance of his answer to 2/3 of the average of all players' answers; the closer the better. Example: Your answer is 45. There are two other players whose answers are 25 and 56. Then, the average is (45+25+56)/3=42. 2/3 of the average is 28. Your distance to 2/3 of the average is 145-28|=17. All players will be ranked according to their answer's proximity to 2/3 of the average. The top 25% of the players get 2 points. The next 50% get 1 point. The bottom 25% get 0 points. (In case of ties, points will be distributed evenly in the enlarged classes.) Please give your answer as a single integer from (0,1,2,3,.100}.

Player B wins iff a point is connected with all other points on the very last turn, while player A wins if any point is connected with all other points on any turn but the very last one OR if no point is connected to all other points after the last turn.
