(20 points) Clarice is an expected utility maximizer and her utility function over money is given by u = cả. Clarice's friend, Hannibal, has offered to bet with her $1,000 on the outcome of the toss of a coin. That is, if the coin comes up heads, Clarice must pay Hannibal $1,000 and if the coin comes up tail, Hannibal must pay Clarice $1,000. The coin is a fair coin, so that the probability of heads and the probability of...

The next four questions (5 to 8) refer to the following: An unfair coin is tossed three times. For each toss, the probability that the coin comes up heads is 0.6 and the probability that the coin comes up tails is 0.4. If we let X be the number of coin tosses that come up heads, observe that the possible values of Xare 0, 1, 2, and 3. Find the probability distribution of X. Hint: the problem can be solved...

Problems (see the end of each question for its respective point value) 1. Bob's utility preferences with respect to wealth (W) can be described by the utility function U-0.5. Assume that Bob's current wealth level equals $400. Also assume that Bob faces a 20 percent chance of incurring a fire in the next year that would totally destroy his home (valued at $300) and an 80 percent chance of suffering no fire loss during the year. If Bob were charged...
