Debate Worksheet

The purpose of this debate worksheet is to discuss your opinion on the debate topic and support your argument with material beyond the assigned reading. Your opinion statement should choose one side, “Pro” or “Con”.  The opinion statement should be at least one page long and should be supported by three sources independent of the assigned material. You must also choose two possible arguments that the opposing side will make to your opinion argument. Then you will detail your response to the arguments made by the opposing side. The grading rubric for this assignment is separate and can be found on Moodle. Your Debate grade is based on the worksheet provided prior the live debate.

Module 4 Assignment: “Missile Crisis” and “Normandy Landing”

Find the probabilities of each player’s strategy. Examine how the opponent would respond if the probabilities were changing-higher or lower than the one found it.

Then, find the joint probability (of each cell or box).

Identify the expected value of each player.

 

Make cases when insurance is or is not included. Analyze your results. Do your initial results change, i.e., does having insurance give the person an incentive to drive without caution?

Module 3 Assignment: Moral Hazard and Uncertainty

AI Moral Hazard and Uncertainty

Solve the case of moral hazard and uncertainty. See table below.

Driving carefully carelessly Prob. loss Prob. loss

accident 0.25 $10.000 0.75 $10,000 no accident 0.75 0 0.25 0

  1. Make cases when insurance is or is not included. Analyze your results.
  2. In both cases, alter the probabilities of having an accident or not if you drive carefully or not. Specifically, you have a 30% chance of having an accident if you go carefully and a 70% chance of not having an accident if you drive carefully. Invert these percentages if you drive carelessly.
  3. Do your initial results change, i.e., does having insurance give the person an incentive to drive without caution?

Module 7 Assignment: Linear Programming (Oct 9)

A company wants to minimize the cost of transporting its product from its warehouses (2) to its stores (3). If the load leaves store A, the cost of the unit transported to store C is $8, to store D is $6, and to store E is $3. If the load leaves store B, the cost of the unit transported to store C is $2, to store D is $4, and to store E is $9. Store C demands a minimum quantity of 40 units. Store D requires a minimum quantity of 35 units. The E-store requires a minimum quantity of 25 units. Warehouse A cannot store more than 70 units. Store B cannot store more than 40 units.

Using Linear Programming (Using RStudio) find the minimum cost, how many units are kept in warehouses A and B, the cost of bringing products to store E, and check for compliance with restrictions.
