2.)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.
In 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 2
, Say two players choose a one or two simultaneously. If the numbers are different, neither
player gains. If the numbers are the same, player 1 wins if the number chosen is one and
player two wins if the number chosen is two. Write the pure strategy sets for both players.
Determine the optimal strategy mix for the players and the game mean value.

What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer: The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied. Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know. Thank youarrow_forward

- You are going to play the 7-11 game, which has the following rules: You roll two dice. If the total value of the two dice is 7 or 11, you immediately win the game. If the total value is 2, 3, or 12, you immediately lose. If the total value is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, you keep this value as a referenced point. Then, you continue rolling the dice until you obtain the same value as the referenced point then you win the game. However, if you obtain the value of 7 before the referenced point, then you lose. For example, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice until you get 4 (before 7) then you win. Similarly, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice but you get 7 (before 4) then you lose. What is the probability to win this game?

- please do the last question(Q3) as well Define a game as follow: you begin with an urn that contains a mixture of black and white balls, and during the game you have access to as many extra black and white balls as you need. In each move of the game, you remove two balls from the urn without being able to see what colour they are. Then you look at their colour and do the following: If the balls are the same colour, you keep them out of the urn and put a black ball in the urn. if the balls are different colours, you keep the black one out of the urn and put the white one back into the urn. Each move reduces the number of balls by one, and the game will end when only one ball is left in the urn. In this you will figure out how to predict the colour of the last ball in the urn and prove your answer using mathematical induction.
