Whenever Aliza buys a flashlight, she also always buys exactly two batteries along with it. Any more than two batteries will serve no purpose, because she will not be able to use them in the flashlight. Any more flashlights will not be useful either, because there will not be enough batteries for her to make use of them. Show her preference map. What is her utility function?

Why men and women play sports Do men and women participate in sports for the same reasons?One goal for sports participants is social compari-son—the desire to win or to do better than other people. Another is mastery—the desire to improve one’s skills or to try one’s best. A study on why students participate in sports collected data from independent random samples of 67 male and 67 female under- graduates at a large university.15 Each student was classified into one of four categories based on his or her responses to a questionnaire about sports goals. The four categories were high social comparison–high mastery (HSC-HM), high social comparison–low mastery (HSC-LM), low social comparison–high mastery (LSC-HM), and low social comparison–low mastery (LSC-LM). One purpose of the study was to compare the goals of male and female students. Here are the data displayed in a two-way table: (a) Calculate the conditional distribution (in proportions) of the reported sports goals for each gender. (b) Make an appropriate graph for comparing the conditional distributions in part (a). (c) Write a few sentences comparing the distributions of sports goals for male and female undergraduates.
