- A system consists of two identical pumps, #1 and #2. If one pump fails, the system will still operate. However, because of the added strain, the remaining pump is now more likely to fail than was originally the case. That is, r 5 P(#2 fails | #1 fails). P(#2 fails) = q. If at least one pump fails by the end of the pump design life in 7% of all systems and both pumps fail during that period in only 1%, what is the probability that pump #1 will fail during the pump design life?arrow_forwardLet's consider the following game between Matt and Claudia, two newly wedded couple. They are deciding if they should buy a larger house in a rural area (L1) or a smaller place in an urban area (L2). Their payoffs reflect both their happiness and their convenience to their daily commuting to work: Claudia L1 L2 Matt L1 200, 1000 0,0 L2 0,0 800, 500 c) What is the solution of the game, that is, the optimal strategy (or strategies) of the game and the expected payoff for each player? d) What type of solution did we reach (Dominated strategy, Nash Equilibrium or Mixed Strategy)rarrow_forwardSolve the game whose pay off matrix is given below: Player B B, B2 A, 2 2 Player A A2 -4 -1 -2 3 -3 B, 1.arrow_forward
- Need answer to the 4th question which is (see picture): It is known that if any two of Trump, Kim and Putin sit beside each other (while sitting in a linear fashion), the dinner may end up in a disaster. In how many ways can they sit so that the dinner may NOT end in a disaster (i.e. how many ways can they sit so that none of Trump, Kim or Putin sits adjacent to each other)?arrow_forward1\2 C D 1,1 2,0 0,2 X,y A В 1.
