Chapter 4.4, Problem 49E

Campaign Strategies27 Florida and Ohio are “swing states” that have a large bounty of electoral votes and are therefore highly valued by presidential campaign strategists. Suppose that it is now the weekend before Election Day 2012, and each candidate (Romney and Obama) can visit only one more state. Further, to win the election, Romney needs to win both of these states. Currently, Romney has a 40% chance of winning Ohio and a 60% chance of winning Florida. Therefore, he has a 0.40 × 0.60 = 0.24 , or 24%, chance of winning the election. Assume that each candidate can increase his probability of winning a state by 10% if he but not his opponent visits that state. If both candidates visit the same state, there is no effect.

a. Set up a payoff matrix with Romney as the row player and Obama as the column player, where the payoff for a specific set of circumstances is the probability (expressed as a percentage) that Romney will win both states.

b. Where should each candidate visit under the circumstances?

Suppose that after the 2020 presidential election there are three races that are too close to call: Wisconsin,Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In order to become president, a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes ormore. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes, Michigan has 16, and Pennsylvania has 20. Suppose that in theother decided races, Democrats have 259 electoral votes and Republicans have 233. The Democrat has an80% chance of winning Wisconsin, a 50% chance of winning Michigan, and a 10% chance of winningPennsylvania. A statistician defines a random variableXto be +1 if the Democrat wins,−1 if theRepublican wins, and 0 if neither candidate reaches 270 electoral votes. Find the probability densityfunction ofX. (Hint: Make this easier by figuring out the scenario in which the Republican wins or there isa tie!)
Bella Robinson and Steve Carson are running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. If both candidates campaign only in the major cities of the state, then Robinson is expected to get 80% of the votes; if both candidates campaign in only rural areas, then Robinson is expected get 55% of the votes; if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the city and Carson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas, then Robinson is expected to get 20% of the votes; finally, if Robinson campaigns exclusively in the rural areas and Carson campaigns exclusively in the city, then Robinson is expected to get 35% of the votes.
