| Problem 4: You are game show contestant and have won your choice of two prizes (A or B): | ||||||||||||||
| A: Choose prize A and receive $1,000 | ||||||||||||||
| B: If you choose prize B, I will flip a (fair) coin and that determines your award: | ||||||||||||||
| Heads (with probability 0.5) you recieve $3,500 | ||||||||||||||
| Tails (with probability 0.5) you must pay me $1,000. That is, you receive -$1,000 | ||||||||||||||
| 1) What is the expected payoff of choice for: | ||||||||||||||
| A: | ||||||||||||||
| B: | ||||||||||||||
| 2) Which prize do you choose? | ||||||||||||||
| why? | ||||||||||||||
| 3) Let's further analyze choice B. Pretend (or maybe you don't have to pretend.) that you didn't know how to calculate the answer to part 1. Create a Monte Carlo simulation (below) with 4000 trials to determine: | ||||||||||||||
| --an estimate for the expected payoff | ||||||||||||||
| --an estimate for the standard deviation of this payoff | ||||||||||||||
| --what is the 99% confidence interval for your estimate of the expected payoff? (NOTE: This is not the 95% level that I usually ask for!) |
