A game involves drawing a single card from a standard deck. The player receives $10 for an ace, $5 for a king, and $1 for a red card that is neither an ace nor a king. Otherwise, the player receives nothing. If the cost of each draw is $2, should you play? Explain your answer mathematically.
A bag contains 3 gold marbles, 10 silver marbles, and 20 black marbles. Someone offers to play this game: You randomly select one marble from the bag. If it is gold, you win $3. If it is silver, you win $2. If it is black, you lose $1.
A game consists of rolling a colored die with three red sides, two green sides, and one blue side. A roll of red loses. A roll of green pays $2.00. A roll of blue pays $5.00. The charge to play the game is $2.00. Would you play the game? Why or why not?

- 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? You can solve this question either by - a simulation - in this case you have to answer one more question, i.e., on average how many times do you roll the dice for each game?

Two players face each other and, at the count of 3, make a fist (rock), an extended hand, palm side down (paper), or a "V" with the index and middle fingers (scissors). The winner is determined by these rules: rock smashes scissors; paper covers rock; and scissors cut paper. If both players choose the same object, then the game is a tie. Suppose that Player 1 and Player 2 are both equally likely to choose rock, paper, or scissors. (a) Give a probability model for this chance process. (b) Find the probability that Player 1 wins the game on the first throw. 3.arrow_forwardThis game is called “Get Negative”. Roll two dice (record these in the order you roll them), and then do then do the following: take the first number rolled and subtract 2 times the second number rolled. Regardless of who rolls, Player A gets 3 points if the product is greater than or equal to 0 (i.e. it is zero or positive); Otherwise Player B gets 1 points. The players may or may not take turns rolling the dice as it does not matter who is rolling. Any player may score on any roll, and every roll will result in a score. Play the game by rolling the dice 25 times. For each turn, keep a record of both dice and the resulting answer and the points scored, according to the rules above. Tally the points and calculate the final score for each player. Remember, someone gets a point for each turn, depending on the numbers rolled. (One does not have to be rolling to receive the points.)

A game consists of players, rules, outcomes, and payoffs. B. Game-theoretic situations are those involving payoff interdependence. C. In static games of complete information players move once simultaneously. D.

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.

- Given question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. 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.
