- 4.6. A person purchases a dozen eggs and must take them home. Although making trips home is costless, there is a 50 percent chance that all of the eggs carried on one trip will be broken during the trip. This person con- siders two strategies: Strategy 1: Take the dozen eggs in one trip. Strategy 2: Make two trips, taking six eggs in each trip. a. List the possible outcomes of each strategy and the probabilities of these outcomes. Show that, on aver- age, six eggs make it home under either strategy. b. Develop a graph to show the utility obtainable under each strategy. c. Could utility be improved further by taking more than two trips? How would the desirability of this possibility be affected if additional trips were costly?arrow_forwardWhat is the matching concept?arrow_forwardDoes the decision you choose turned out to be effective?how?arrow_forward

The probability of an earthquake damagingyour home during one year is 0.001. If this happens, you estimate that the cost of the damage (fully coveredby earthquake insurance) will be $160,000. Your total assets (including your home) are worth $250,000. A. Apply Bayes’ decision rule to determine which alternative (take the insurance or not) maximizes yourexpected assets after one year.arrow_forward
- what is affordance and visibility?arrow_forwardEconomics A person likes to gamble and has $100 on him. He is going to play the following game: if he bets $b, then with probability p, 0 < p< 1, he will win $b; with probability 1 – p, he will lose his $b. He is given the opportunity to play at most 20 times. He is a very disciplined gambler and is going to use the following strategy: • Every time he plays, he will make a bet equal to half of the amount of money he has at that moment. • If the amount of money he has gets to $300 or higher, then he will stop playing. Find the probability that, starting with $100 and given 20 chances to play the game, this person will get to $300 or more. Formulate this problem recursively by writing down the “Bellman equation." What is (are) the state variable(s)? Be specific about any constraints or initial/boundary conditions for this problem.arrow_forwardwhy choose A?arrow_forward
