) Three ferocious old pirates are dividing their plunder (100 gold coins) before disbanding. No single coin can be subdivided. A

ccording to pirate code, pirate number 1 P1 suggests a sharing rule (for instance if P1 suggests (34, 33, 33), under this rule P1 gets 34 coins, P2 gets 33 and P3 gets 33). All three pirates vote by roll call on the proposal. If a majority (even a tie is enough) accept, then the division is carried out and the game ends. If the suggestion is not accepted then the first pirate is thrown overboard (which is worse than getting no gold, because of the circling sharks) and P2 makes a proposal, which is subjected to majority vote, and so on. These pirates are crafty enough to perform backward induction, and so cranky that, whenever a pirate is indifferent about voting for or against a proposal, he votes against it. Explain what happens and why.

Answer:

P1 bribe P3 otherwise P3 gets 100 gold coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under this rule

P1 gets 34 coins,

P2 gets 33 and

P3 gets 33

Two things could happen

First: P1 has to bribe P3 additional one gold coin in order to get majority votes, so that he would not be thrown overboard and be kill. Then,

P1 gets 33 coins

P2 gets 33 coins

P3 gets 34 coins

Second: if P2 reject it, P3 could be indifferent. This will lead to the death of P1. And when P2 makes suggestions, P3 rejects it. Therefore P3 gets it all. P3 gets 100 gold coin

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t
valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25
