look at chart 6:

Consider the following electoral map. There are 2 alternatives - Yellow Circles and Blue Diamonds (or grey and black in black and white printing), 25 voters, and 5 seats/districts available. Each district has 5 voters. We see that exactly 13 (i.e. 52%) voters vote Blue.

Divide the grid into 5 districts, each with 5 voters, so that Blue wins 4 of the 5 districts. (Your districts should be connected.)

A tree is 50 ft tall. You are standing 150 ft from the tree and you centrally project the tree onto a canvas 3 ft away. How tall is the image of the tree on the canvas?

How far do you need to be from the tree so that it appears to be 3 ft tall on the canvas?

Follow chart 4: 

Suppose Player 1 is using a mixed strategy, and they chooses strategy A with probability p.

Write formulas for the expected payoffs of each of Player 2’s strategies.

Expected payoff for strategy X, E2(X) = 

Expected payoff for strategy Y , E2(Y ) = 

What value of p makes Player 2’s expected payoffs the same for both of their strategies? (This is called Player 1’s indifference strategy.)

-2*p + 2(1-p) =2-4p

1*p - 2(1-p) = 3p-2

2-4p = 3p-2 ---> 7p=4 ---> p= 4/7

Consider the following symmetries of the plane:

• t: the translation left 2 units (i.e. the translation (1, 0))

• r: the rotation about (0, 0) by 180◦, clockwise

• mx: the reflection in the x-axis

• my: the reflection in the y-axis

Q2: Where does the symmetry r take the point (2, 1)?

1. (-1,0)

2. (-2,-1)
