Bonus question 1 The “Nash Equilibrium (NE)”, named after Nash (1950) builds on the notion that every player finds her “best response” to each of her rivals’ strategies. Nash equilibrium (NE). A strategy profile is a NE if every player chooses a best response to her rivals’ strategies. Consider a two-player simultaneous-move game represented by a payoff matrix. The players are Firm 1 and Firm 2, who independently and simultaneously choose between two technologies, technology A (environmentally friendly) and technology B (conventional, polluting). The payoff matrix lists outcomes for each possible combination of technology choices. Each cell of the matrix reports the payoff pair as follows: (the payoff to Firm 1 under the corresponding strategy profile, the payoff to Firm 2 under the corresponding strategy profile​) Please provide the strategic profile of the Nash Equilibrium (NE) _____________ Hint: In this game, there is only one NE. Hint:  We refer to a “game” every time we consider a scenario in which the action of one agent (either individual, firm, or government) affect other agents’ well-being. Elements of game: Player: The set of individuals, firms, government or countries, that interact with one another. We consider games with 2 or more players. Strategy: A complete plan describing which actions a player chooses in each possible situation (contingency). Payoff: What every player obtains under each possible strategy path

The Axolotl limb diagrammed above uses numbers to represent identity of different sections along the proximal-distal axis. What would happen it the limb was amputated just distal to the stylopod, and the blastema that formed was soaked in Retinoic Acid (RA) and then allowed to regenerate?

The social theory that focuses on how individuals use shared symbols and construct society through everyday interactions is called ________________________. Type in the Word(s) that should go in the missing blank.

Laud Humphrey’s Tearoom Trade is an example of research with several ethical issues. 

A car license plate in the state of Minnconsin (not a real state!) consists of any 3 letters followed by any 4 numbers, such as TBD6528. Repetition of the letters and numbers is allowed in a license plate. (a) (10 pts) Determine the total number for the possible values of Minnconsin license plate; you do not need to simplify your answer. You MUST use the Counting Principle, and show all details. (b) (5 pts) Assuming that all possible car license plate values in Minnconsin are equally likely, how much information do you get by learning the value of your new Minnconsin license plate? (c) (5 pts) If instead, some Minnconsin license plate values are less likely than others, how would this change the answer to the question above?

For the problems in this exercise, the breakdown of executed instructions is as follows:   add addi nor beq lw j-type(jr/jal) sw 20% 15% 15% 20% 10% 5% 15% (a) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the data memory used? [Ans1] (b) (1 points)  In what overall fraction is the instruction memory used? [Ans2] (c) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the program counter (PC) used? [Ans3] (d) (1 points) In what overall fraction is the ALU/adder used? [Ans4] (e) (1 points)  In what overall fraction is the sign extension unit used? [Ans5] Just provide the percentage as a whole number – donot need to add the percentage sign

I1: lw $t0, 0($t1) I2: lw $t2, 4($t1) I3: add $s2, $t2, $t3 I4: sub $s0, $t0, $t3  The MIPS architecture has a five-stage pipeline with a forwarding unit. [1 point] In the following instructions, point out the hazard(s), if any. Please state the instructions involved in the hazard(s) and identify the register involved in the hazard. [2 points] If there are any data hazards, can they be fixed by rearranging the instructions? [Hint: You need to switch only a pair, any unncessary instruction movement would not be graded]  

In an undergraduate college-level course, the TA grades student essays on a topic of their choosing. When grading, the TA goes through the student submissions in a way that is sorted alphabetically by the students’ last name. The TA finds they typically grade the first few submissions higher compared to the ones at the end. Which change best reduces the risk of bias introduced by the sorting procedure?

A requirements-management application lets anyone use it without signing up or inputting a credit card for up to 3 projects. Then it requires inputting a payment to unlock more projects and team features. What pricing model is this?
