Suppose that some members of a population are infected with a sexually transmitted virus that causes disease X, and some are infected with another sexually transmitted virus that causes disease Y. Some members of the population may be infected with both viruses. While diseases X and Y are similar in that they are both sexually transmitted diseases, the disease X is much more harmful to its carriers than the disease Y is to its carriers. Condom use is highly effective in preventing the transmission of either disease. Suppose scientists discover a cure for the sexually transmitted disease X. This cure (a vaccination) will eliminate the virus causing the disease X from its carrier before its carrier can suffer any harm from the virus. Everybody is immediately given this vaccination against the disease X. a. What do you expect to happen to the prevalence of the virus causing the disease X in the population? Draw a graph with time on the horizontal axis and prevalence of the virus causing…

- The mayor of Green City is considering whether to institute a Covid vaccine mandate for public employees. The fire chief opposes vaccination, and has threatened to resign if a mandate is instituted. The mayor believes that instituting a mandate is critical to getting Covid under control, and thus not instituting the mandate would costs the city -50 utility. However, the fire chief is critical to maintaining public safety. If the fire chief resigns, it would cost the city 75 utility. The fire chief believes a mandate would be an invasion of his personal freedom, costing him 20 utility. The mandate only impacts the fire chief if he does not resign. However, resigning his job as fire chief would cost him 40 utility. Draw this game. Identify how many subgames it contains.

A recent report indicates that nearly 50 americans contractHIV each year through blood transfusions. Although every pint of blood donated in the unitedstates undergoes a battery of nine different test, existing screening methods can detect only theantibodies produced by the body’s immune system-not foreign agents in the blood, newlyinfected HIV donors can pass along the virus through blood that has passed existing screeningtests. Happily, researchers have developed a series of new tests aimed at detecting and removinginfections from donated blood before it is used in transfusions. The obvious benefit of these testsis reduced incidence of infection through blood transfusions. The report indicates that the currentprice of decontaminated blood is $60 per pint.

- Little Chicken farm (LCF) discovered that a common Asian plant has leaves that have antibiotic functions in fowls and are particularly effective in preventing some infections in ducks. To prevent such infections, duck farms have been adding antibiotics to duck feeds for ten consecutive days when the ducks are young. LCF’s research shows that by feeding a duck one pack of softgels of processed shredded leaves of the plants, ducks will not get infections even without using any antibiotics in feeds. The current antibiotic supplements used in duck feeds create severe side effects that kill 10% of the ducks. With this innovative LCF herbal solution, the mortality rate of ducks is reduced to 2%. It costs a duck farm $2 to buy and replace a dead duckling. Each surviving duck will lay an average of 30 dozen Problem Set #2 Due September 28 eggs in its lifetime on the farm; each dozen eggs sell at $0.80 per dozen on the wholesale market.
