A ticket between Corellia and Dantooine (located in a galaxy far far away) sells for $150. The plane can hold 100 people. It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book?
Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.
Thank you!

John O'Hagan had the opportunity to participate in all three initial public offerings (partly because he and Marjory Duffin are good friends).

The table below states the payoffs in political points (measured in billions of rubles) to two nations that are rivals in world politics, Russia and Ukraine. Each country can take one of two courses: peace; or war. In each cell, the first payoff is for Russia, and the second payoff is for Ukraine. (a) Assume that neither country observes the military strategy of its rival, and solve the game (if it can be solved). Explain your solution step-by-step. Does this outcome maximize total political points? (b) In general, what is a Nash equilibrium? Is the solution to this game a Nash equilibrium? (c) Suppose that each country deposits a fund of two billion rubles with the United Nations. Either country would forfeit this fund if it wages war. What is the solution now to the game?

He has 3 options: a drill press, a lathe, and a grinder. The return on investment for each tool is largely determined by whether the company wins a government military contract. The profit and loss for each purchase and the probabilities associated with each contract outcome are shown in the payoff table below: Purchase Contract 0.40 No Contract 0.60 Drill Press $40,000 ($8,000) Lathe $20,000 $4,000 Grinder $12,000 $10,000 Part 1) Compute for the expected value of each alternative and select the best option.arrow_forward
