Suppose there is a covered bowl with 3 red balls and 6 other balls, which could be black or yellow. The Decision Maker [DM] doesn’t know how many black or yellow balls there are, other than there are 6 in total. The DM will choose one ball from the bowl; each ball is equally likely to be chosen. The DM is offered a choice between Option A, which pays off LKR1000 if a red ball is drawn (0 otherwise) or Option B, which pays off LKR1000 if a black ball is drawn (0 otherwise). The DM is then offered a choice between Option C, which pays off LKR1000 if a red or yellow ball is drawn (0 otherwise), or option D, which pays off LKR1000 if a black or yellow ball is drawn (0 otherwise). Find the expected utility basics of the theory of expected utility.
Consumer buys 10 units of Good A when the price of Good B is $5. When the price of Good B rises to $6 (the price of Good A remaining unchanged) the consumer buys 14 units of Good A.
