1c) Find all Nash Equilibria in pure strategies of this game.
1d) Is there any Nash Equilibria in mixed strategies?
Answers
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given points:
Step-by-step explanation:
For point a:
When Player A selects Top, Player B selects Left or Right.
Player B selects Right when player A selects Bottom
Thus, player B's best statement is correct.
When player B selects the left, then game A selects the top
When player B selects the right, player A selects the top
Hence, Player A's right response is Top.
For point b:
The main strategy inside the game is Player A, which would be Top. Since he won't choose Below except under situations since the payment to Bottom is below his payoff for Top irrespective of player B.
For point c:
Player A will purely pick Top & Player B right and player A also will pick Top and player B is right. Game A will's pattern. In this case, neither player has the motive to move away. There are two Nash balances since player B is paid the same amount, irrespective of what he's playing any strategy, as player A is always at the top.
For point d:
Consider if player B plays left with "q" probability and right with "1-q" probability. We're done
[tex]2q + 2(1-q) = 3q+4(1-q) \\\\2(1-q) - 4(1-q) = 3q - 2q \\\\-2(1 - q) = q \\\\-2 + 2q = q \\\\2q-q= 2 \\\\q= 2\\[/tex]
It is not possible since q is a chance that really can exceed 1. Hence, for this game, there is no mixed strategy nash balancing.

ANSWER ASAP
Answers
Answer:
[tex]y=-8x+14[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
What we need to know:
A perpendicular bisector of a line segment is 1) perpendicular to the line segment and 2) passes through the midpoint of the line segmentPerpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. -2 and 1/2)Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of when x is 0)1) Determine the midpoint of the line segment
Midpoint: [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex] where the coordinates of the endpoints are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Plug in the endpoints (-24, -54) and (40, -46)
[tex](\frac{-24+40}{2} ,\frac{-54+(-46)}{2} )\\(\frac{-24+40}{2} ,\frac{-54-46}{2} )\\(\frac{16}{2} ,\frac{-100}{2} )\\(8 ,-50)[/tex]
Therefore, the midpoint of line AB is (8,-50).
2) Determine the slope of the line segment
This will help us find the equation of the perpendicular bisector.
slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]
Plug in the endpoints (-24, -54) and (40, -46)
[tex]= \frac{-46-(-54)}{40-(-24)}\\= \frac{-46+54}{40+24}\\= \frac{8}{64}\\= \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of line AB is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex].
3) Determine the slope of the perpendicular bisector
Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -8 (the negative reciprocal of 1/8). Plug this slope into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:
[tex]y=-8x+b[/tex]
4) Determine the y-intercept (b) of the perpendicular bisector
[tex]y=-8x+b[/tex]
Recall that we found the midpoint of line AB, (8,-50). The perpendicular bisector passes through this point. Plug (8,-50) into [tex]y=-8x+b[/tex] and solve for b:
[tex]-50=-8(8)+b\\-50=-64+b[/tex]
Add 64 to both sides to isolate b
[tex]-50+64=-64+b+64\\14=b[/tex]
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 14. Plug this back into [tex]y=-8x+b[/tex]:
[tex]y=-8x+14[/tex]

The true statement
From the attached image, it is hard to determine the values of angles I and L as there are no enough information to determine their values.
However, J and K can be worked easily.
From the image
[tex]J = 65^o[/tex] --- vertically opposite angles
And:
[tex]K + 65^o = 180^o[/tex] ---- angle on a straight line
Substitute: [tex]J = 65^o[/tex]
[tex]K + J = 180^o[/tex]
When two angles add up to 180, the angles are supplementary.
Hence, (c) is correct

The weights of a certain dog breed are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 49 pounds, and a standard deviation of 6 pounds. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form.
Required:
a. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
b. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
c. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.
Answers
Answer:
a. 74.86%
b. 50%
c. 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normally distributed with a mean of 49 pounds, and a standard deviation of 6 pounds.
This means that [tex]\mu = 49, \sigma = 6[/tex]
a. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 53. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{53 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.67[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7486.
0.7486*100% = 74.86%, which is percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
b. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
p-value of Z when X = 49, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5
0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
c. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.
1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 49, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5.
1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.

write an equation for the line parallel to y=-3x+4 that contains P(1,4)
Answers
Answer:
y = -3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If the line is parallel, it will have the same slope. So, this line will have a slope of -3.
Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:
y = mx + b
4 = -3(1) + b
4 = -3 + b
7 = b
Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b
y = mx + b
y = -3x + 7
So, the equation is y = -3x + 7
At the start of a month, Sasha and Natalia each have a certain amount of money.
Sasha has $400 and saves $20 each week. The graph below shows the amount of money in Natalia's account each week
Whose monthly activity shows a greater rate of change, and by how much?
A) Sasha, by $10/week
B)Sasha, by $19/week
C) Natalia, by $10/week
D) Natalia, by $19/week
Answers
Answer:
Option (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sasha has an amount of $400 and saves $20 per week.
If we graph the savings of Sasha, her savings per week will be defined by the slope of the line = $20 per week
Similarly, from the graph attached,
Slope of the line given in the graph = Per week savings of Natalia
Slope of line passing through (0, 190) and (2, 210) will be,
Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{210-190}{2-0}[/tex]
= 10
Therefore, per week savings of Natalia = $10
Difference in savings of Sasha and Natalia = 20 - 10 = $10 per week
Here, Sasha shows the greater rate of change by $10 per week
Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.

Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph?
y = 2x^2
y = –x^2
y = 1/8x^2
y = 1/6x^2
Answers
A quadratic function's graph being wide or narrow is determined or depended on a-term:
[tex] \large{y = a {x}^{2} + bx + c}[/tex]
If |a| has a lot of value, for example a = 2 or a = 100. The graph will get narrower if increasing the value of |a|. On the other hand, If |a| has small value, for example a = 1/2 or a = 1/10000. The graph would be wide.
Also it does not matter if a-term is negative or not since a-term being positive or negative determines if a parabola is upward or downward. Only |a| determines how narrow/wide the graph is.
From the question, it is clear that the parabola y = 2x^2 is the narrowest graph since it has the highest |a| value out of all choices.

Step-by-step explanation:
The number is n.
7 more than 3 times his

Thus;
10 ≤ 3n + 7 ≤ 28
Let's solve individually;
10 ≤ 3n + 7
10 - 7 ≤ 3n
n ≥ 3/3
n ≥ 1
Also,
3n + 7 ≤ 28
3n ≤ 28 - 7
3n ≤ 21
n ≤ 21/3
n ≤ 7
Thus, since n cannot be more than 7 or less than 1, it means in interval Notation, the answer is;

The probabilities are: (i) P(A) = 1/6
(ii) P(B) = 38/55
(iii) P(A ∩ B) = 1/110
(iv) P(A|B) ≈ 0.00152
To calculate the probabilities, let's first find the total number of ways to choose 3 balls out of the 12 balls.
Total number of ways to choose 3 balls out of 12 = 12C3 = (12 * 11 * 10) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 220
(i) P(A): Probability that all three balls selected are red.
Number of ways to choose 3 red balls out of 7 red balls = 7C3 = (7 * 6 * 5) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 35
P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 35 / 220 = 1/6
(ii) P(B): Probability that the sum of the numbers on the three balls is equal to 6.
The possible combinations that sum up to 6 are: (2, 2, 2), (2, 2, 1), and (1, 1, 3).
Number of ways to choose 3 balls such that their sum is 6:
- For (2, 2, 2), we have 1 choice for each color, so 1 * 1 * 1 = 1 way.
- For (2, 2, 1), we have 1 choice for each color, so 1 * 1 * 1 = 1 way.
- For (1, 1, 3), we have 6 choices for the first red ball (all are labeled '1'), 5 choices for the second red ball (since one '1' is already taken), and 5 choices for the green ball labeled '3', so 6 * 5 * 5 = 150 ways.
Total number of ways to choose 3 balls with sum 6 = 1 + 1 + 150 = 152
P(B) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 152 / 220 = 38/55
(iii) P(A ∩ B): Probability that all three balls selected are red and the sum of their numbers is equal to 6.
From the above calculations, we know that there are 1 way to choose (2, 2, 2) and 1 way to choose (2, 2, 1) such that all three balls are red and the sum is 6.
P(A ∩ B) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes = 2 / 220 = 1/110
(iv) P(A|B): Probability that all three balls selected are red, given that the sum of their numbers is equal to 6.
P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) = (1/110) / (38/55) = (1/110) * (55/38) ≈ 0.00152 (rounded to five decimal places).

Find parametric equations for the tangent line to the curve with the given parametric equations at the specified point.
x = 1 + 2√t, y = t3 - t, z = t3 + t; (3,0,2)
Answers
Solution :
Given parametric equation for :
[tex]$x=1+2 \sqrt t$[/tex]
[tex]$y=t^3-t$[/tex]
[tex]z=t^3+t[/tex]
The point is (3, 0, 2)
The vector equation is equal to :
[tex]$r(t) = \left<1+2 \sqrt t, t^3 -t, t^3+t \right>$[/tex]
Solving for r'(t) by differentiating each of the components of r(t) w.r.t. to t,
[tex]$r'(t)= \left< \frac{1}{\sqrt t}, \ 3t^2-1, \ 3t^2+1 \right>$[/tex]
The parameter value corresponding to (3, 0, 2) is t = 1. Putting in t=1 into r'(t) to solve for r'(t), we get
[tex]$r'(1) = \left< \frac{1}{\sqrt 1}, \ 3(1)^2-1, \ 3(1)^2+1 \right>$[/tex]
We know that parametric equation for line through the point [tex]$(x_0, y_0, z_0)$[/tex] and parallel to the direction vector <a, b, c > are
[tex]$x=x_0+at$[/tex]
[tex]$y=y_0+bt$[/tex]
[tex]z=z_0+ct[/tex]
Now substituting the [tex]$(x_0, y_0, z_0)$[/tex] = (3, 0, 2) and <a, b, c > into x, y and z, respectively to solve for the parametric equation of the tangent line to the curve, we get:

x = 3 + t
y = (0) + (2)t

a garden pond is in the shape of a rectangle that measures 5 m by 3 m. a stone path is built all around the pond. this path is the same width all the way around. the area of the pond and the path together is 39 m². how wide is the path?
Answers
Answer:
1.16 m (approximately)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the width of the path.
Total area = (5+2x)(3+2x) = 39
Expand and simplify
4x²+ 16x+15-39 = 0
4x² + 16x - 24 = 0
Simplify
x² + 4x -6 = 0
Rational factoring does not work, so use quadratic formula
x = +/- sqrt(10) -2
= 1.16 or -5.16 (reject)
= 1.16 m (approximately)
Suppose the weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams. The weights of oranges are also normally distributed with a mean of 131 grams and a standard deviation of 20 grams. Amy has an apple that weighs 90 grams and an orange that weighs 155 grams.
Required:
a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?
Answers
Answer:
a) 0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b) The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams.
This means that [tex]\mu = 85, \sigma = 8[/tex]
a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 100. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 85}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.875[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.875[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9697
1 - 0.9696 = 0.0304
0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?
This is the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.2, so X when Z = -0.84.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X- 85}{8}[/tex]
[tex]X - 85 = -0.84*8[/tex]
[tex]X = 78.28[/tex]
The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.
Lin is reading a 47-page book. She read the first 20 pages in 35 minutes.
If she continues to read at the same rate, will she be able to complete this book in under 1 hour?

Answers
Answer:
no
22.25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
First determine how long it will take her to read the entire book
20 pages 47 pages
-------------- = ----------------
35 minutes x minutes
Using cross products
20x = 35*47
20x=1645
Divide by 20
20x/20 = 1645/20
x =82.25 minutes
This is more than 1 hour ( 1 hour = 60 minutes)
82.25 minutes - 60 minutes = 22.25 minutes
She will need 22.25 more minutes
