Question:
You purchase a dozen eggs at the store and need to get them home. Although making trips home is costless, there is a 50% chance that all of the eggs carried on any one trip will be broken during the trip. Consider two strategies:
take all 12 eggs in one trip; or
take two trips with 6 eggs in each trip.
a. If the dozen eggs cost $4 and an insurance company offers to reimburse you the cost of the eggs if they break on the way home, what is the most you would be willing to pay for this insurance?
b. Do you prefer full insurance or an insurance policy that costs $1 and pays you $2 if the eggs break?
