A question of game theory
2. Imagine that a large number of consumers are uniformly distributed along a boardwalk that is 1 mile long. (Hint: "Uniformly distributed" is a mathematical expression which refers to the uniform distribution of a continuous random variable. In this exercise, it essentially describes a situation such that half of the consumers are located along the first half mile of the boardwalk, and the other half of the consumers are located along the second half of...

Imagine you are exploring the Australian Outback and stumble across two perfectly identical fields separated by a natural barrier. Field 1 is covered by large, grass-eating kangaroos and the other is covered by small, grass-eating wallabies. Each field has an identical amount of grass as a resource. There are only enough grass resources on field one to support 100 kangaroos, and only enough grass resources on field two to support 150 wallabies (wallabies are smaller so need less grass). You find out...

Imagine you want to study one of the human crystallins, proteins present in the lens of the eye. To obtain sufficient amount of the protein of interest, you decide to clone the gene that codes for it. Assume you know the sequence of this gene. How would you go about this? In a paragraph of approximately 3 to 5 complete logical sentences, explain the technique that you would use, why, and its basic steps. To answer this question you need...

Imagine that you are in class and have a sudden urge to gulp down a hot fudge sundae. Some part of you really wants to just grab a giant sundae and start eating it right this second. But then, another part of you realizes that a giant hot fudge sundae has lots and lots of calories in it, and makes you feel weak and even guilty for even considering eating something like this. Ultimately, you decide to wait until class...
