  1. A store owner is trying to decide whether he should order equal amounts of four types of milk (skim, 1%, 2%, and whole). To help determine if certain kinds of milk are more popular, he records how many gallons of each kind of milk he sells over the course of a week. His data shows that he sold: 31 gallons of skim milk, 23 gallons of 1% milk, 37 gallons of 2% milk, and 25 gallons of whole milk. The owner is interested in whether the store sells equal amounts of the four types of milk.

  1. Santos et al. (1994) described the pique technique. They claimed that people are more likely to comply with strange requests than with “typical” ones, even if the strange request is larger.

To test this hypothesis, a researcher asked 160 strangers for money. He asked some people if they could spare a quarter, and asked others if they could spare 37 cents. He then recorded how many people gave him the amount requested and how many people did not.

Were people more likely to give the researcher 37 cents than they were to give him 25 cents?

  1. A researcher wants to assess whether students’ level of prejudice predict attitudes toward racial profiling.  As part of a larger survey, students complete two scales pertaining to those variables.  Higher scores on the prejudice measure indicate greater prejudice and higher scores on the profiling scale indicate greater support for racial profiling.  Scores on both measures are obtained from each of 20 students.
  Prejudice Profiling    
  X Y XY X2
  7 5 35 49
  4 4 16 16

Python’s pow function returns the result of raising a number to a given power. Define a function expo that performs this task, and state its computational complexity using big-0 notation.

1. A sequential search of a sorted list can halt when the target is less than a given element in the list. Define a modified version of this algorithm, and state the computational complexity, using big-0 notation, of its best-, worst-, and average-case performances.

2. The list method reverse reverses the elements in the list. Define a function amed reverse that reverses the elements in its list argument (without using the method reverse!). Try to make this function as efficient as possible, and state its computational complexity using big-0 notation.

3. Python’s pow function returns the result of raising a number to a given power. Define a function expo that performs this task, and state its computational complexity using big-0 notation. The first argument of this function is the number, and the second argument is the exponent (nonnegative numbers only). You may use either a loop or a recursive function in your implementation. Caution: do not use Python’s ** operator or pow function in this exercise!

4. An alternative strategy for the expo function uses the following recursive definition:

expo(number, exponent)

= 1, when exponent

= 0 = number * expo(number, exponent – 1), when exponent is odd

= (expo(number, exponent // 2))2, when exponent is even

Define a recursive function expo that uses this strategy, and state its computational complexity using big-0 notation.

5. Python’s 1 i st method sort includes the keyword argument reverse, whose default value is False. The programmer can override this value to sort a list in descending order. Modify the selection Sort function discussed in this chapter so that it allows the programmer to supply this additional argument to redirect the sort.

Find all Nash equilibria sand ubgame perfect equilibria of this game.

Game Theory

Consider the following conflict among tenant and landlord about a deposit: When the rental agreement starts, the tenant leaves a deposit x with landlord. On termination of the rental agreement, the landlord returns y. The returned amount y is either the full deposit or a fraction: y ∈ [0, x]. The tenant can accept or refuse the landlord’s offer of y. If the tenant refuses, then the tenant goes to court. In this case the tenant bears a non-refundable cost of c (litigation fees). The court settles the case, i.e. decides that the landlord must return the amount of y* to the tenant. y* is a fixed number. Both parties, the landlord and the tenant, know y*, i.e. both know how the court will settle the case.

a) Draw this situation (handwritten) as an extensive form game. In a first move the landlord decides about y. In a second move the tenant decides whether to accept y or whether to go to court. Since the court has no choice, there is no third move.

b) Find all Nash equilibria sand ubgame perfect equilibria of this game.
