2. You are playing a (zero sum) game of rock, paper, scissors. Your friend can play any of the 3 strategies rock, paper, or scissors. She doesn't know your deepest secret, however, that you have papyrophobia. You are so afraid of paper you won't even play it in this game. Given that you only play rock or scissors, and that the probability of picking rock is $x$, what is the optimal value for $x$? Justify this answer with calculations. What would the value of the game be (the maximin or the expected value given your friend had the least convenient approach for you)? It is fair to assume winning gives 1 point, tying gives 0 points, and losing give -1 points.

A depolarized membrane is repolarized when ions diffuse out of the neuron. The membrane then reestablishes the resting state distribution of ions. When an impulse reaches the axon, nerve impulse conduction occurs. In neuron-to-neuron synaptic transmission, a nerve impulse reaching a terminal bouton causes the formation of a synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters are then removed from the synaptic cleft through reabsorption, diffusion, or decomposition by enzymes. If a drug prevents an excitatory neurotransmitter from binding to receptors of the postsynaptic neuron, synaptic transmission will not occur. Such a drug might be useful in a clinical situation.

Assume you wish to determine the concentrations of Ca$^{2+}$ in an aqueous sample containing both Ca$^{2+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ using an EDTA titration. This can be done by titrating two aliquots (1 and 2) each at different pH values (pH = 4 and pH = 8). The experiment was done as follows: [EDTA] = 0.06650 M Volume of Aliquot 1 = 10.00 mL pH of Aliquot 1 = 4 Equivalence volume for aliquot 1 (pH = 4) = 4.49 mL Volume of Aliquot 2 = 10.00 mL pH of Aliquot 2 = 8 Equivalence volume for aliquot 2 (pH = 8) = 15.80 mL Calculate the concentration of Ca$^{2+}$ in the sample. Report your answer to three (3) significant digits.
