64. (This problem assumes knowledge of the basic rulesof baseball.) George Lindsey (1959) looked at boxscores of more than 1000 baseball games and foundthe expected number of runs scored in an inning foreach on-base and out situation to be as listed in the fileP09_64.xlsx. For example, if a team has a man on firstbase with one out, it scores 0.5 run on average untilthe end of the inning. You can assume throughout thisproblem that the team batting wants to maximize theexpected number of runs scored in the inning.a. Use this data to explain why, in most cases,bunting with a man on first base and no outs isa bad decision. In what situation might buntingwith a man on first base and no outs be a gooddecision?b. Assume there is a man on first base with one out.What probability of stealing second makes an attempted steal a good idea?

ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?

Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt otherwise I downvote the answer Assume that the relationship between test scores and the student-teacher ratio can be modeled as a linear function with an intercept of 698.9 and a slope of (-2.28). A decrease in the student teacher ratio by 2 will: A) reduce test scores by 2.28 on average B) result in a test score of 698.9 C) reduce test scores by 2.56 on average D) reduce test scores by 4.56 for every school district PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY C IS CORRECT.
The Kalamazoo Brewing Company (KBC) currently sells its microbrews in a seven-state area: Illinois, Indiana,Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The company’s data analytics department has collecteddata from its distributors in each state. This data consists of the quantity of cases and price (per case) ofmicrobrews sold in each state, as well as the average income (in thousands of dollars) of consumers living invarious regions of each state. The data for each state are available in the Excel file on Brightspace--please notethere are multiple tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet, each refers to one of the seven states selling theKalamazoo Brewing Company’s microbrews. You will use the data to estimate the linear demand function fortheir microbrews in Indiana. To do this, perform the regression analysis in Excel for the data provided forIndiana.a. Write out the estimated linear demand function for microbrews in Indiana as a function of the price percase (P) and…

Suppose that the University of Alabama and Clemson are making spending decisions for theupcoming year. Assume that Alabama is currently spending $15 million on their recruiting andfacilities, and Clemson is spending $10 million. Each team has an additional $5 million to spendor keep as profits. If they both choose to not spend the additional $5 million then Alabama hasa 60% chance of getting the highest quality quarterback recruit to commit to them (getting thecommitment of the player is the goal). However, if they both choose to spend the additional $5million then there is a 57% chance that Alabama gets the high quality quarterback to commit. IfAlabama spends the additional $5 million but Clemson doesn’t then there is a 67% chanceAlabama gets the recruit. However, if Alabama does NOT spend the additional $5million butClemson does then there is a 50% change either team gets the recruit’s commitment. Setup thepayoff matrix and label the players, their strategies, and their payoffs, and…
