Question

David received a parking ticket but feels he did not deserve it! He can either pay it or go to court to contest it. In making his decision, he considers the amount of the ticket (worth 1 point), the time and effort required to contest it (worth 2 points), and how he feels about paying it (worth 5 points). If he pays the ticket, the parking authority receives David’s payment (worth 1 point) and deters unauthorized parking (worth 4 points). However, if David contests the ticket, it would cost the parking authority to defend the ticket in court (worth 3 points). If David wins, it could compromise its deterrent to unauthorized parking. Should David fight the ticket? Use an extensive form game tree to analyze the basic arguments.

Your teacher was driving on a toll road which has a speed limit of 60 MPH (miles per hour). Two weeks later they receive a ticket for speeding for going at least 25 MPH over. Your teacher is outraged and doesn’t believe that they have any way of proving they went 85 MPH since there weren’t any radar guns on the road. Because you are good at math the teacher turns to you and asks you to help them make a case against the toll road company. Here is the information that the toll company provided your teacher as proof of their speeding. Toll Booth A – Entrance on Toll Road Time: 6:00 Mile Marker: 15 Toll Booth B – Exit on Toll Road Time: 7:00 Mile Marker: 100 Is the toll road company correct to give your teacher a ticket? Come up with some arguments one way or the other. Include the Mean Value Theorem where appropriate.

Visitors to downtown Hinsdale must pay the parking meters to park their cars. The cost of parking is $5 \phi$ for the first 12 min and $5 \phi$ for each additional 12 min or fraction of this time. Let $P(t)$ represent the cost of parking, and let $t$ represent the number of minutes the car is parked at the meter. Graph $P(t)$ for parking a car for up to (and including) $1 \mathrm{hr}$.
