In the prior unit, you learned how research is used in the public safety sector, with an emphasis on criminal justice. You also had the opportunity to further develop your research skills with an emphasis on how to conduct background research and evaluate research designs. Although there was a considerable amount of information covered, you should know that these are foundational concepts, and you will have more opportunities to practice research.Lessons in this unit focus on practicing research skills. Specifically, you are going to practice one of the most common types of research by developing a survey. As the most common type of research, learning how to construct a survey is a marketable skill, one that can, and should, be placed on your resume. You also have a unique opportunity to learn and develop skills in conducting observational research and how to conduct interviews and focus groups.Through these lessons, you will be introduced to the following:

  • Social science research process
  • Applying theory to your research
  • The basics of statistical sampling
  • Crime reporting and statistics
  • Sampling and non-sampling errors
  • Interview and questionnaire data

  1. Imagine that you are going to make a visit to your representative in Congress. Develop a one-page document that supports your position on the AHCA that you would leave with your representative or his or her aide when you make your visit. This one-pager, also called a “leave behind,” should state your position clearly in bullet points and give your reasons why your position is preferred. This “leave behind” should have 1 inch margins and utilize 14-point font throughout. If you were making this visit in person, you would present your “leave behind” to the person with whom you speak during your visit. Include a second page that describes your rationale for the position in your “leave behind” page supported by at least two journal articles.
  2. Write a two-page brief to describe the scenario surrounding your legislative visit. Understanding the political affiliation of your representative, include answers to the following:
    • Was your member in support or in opposition to the AHCA?
    • State three points that you would cover in support or opposition to your representative’s position.
    • How does your nursing experience influence the advocacy position that you take on the AHCA?

some exercise of game theory!!urgent!!!!

Question 1 (2 points): L M RT 2,5 2,1 0,1C 3,2 4,4 1,1B 4,0 4,1 2,2Answer the following question regarding the game above (reason all your answers):a) Strategy M weakly dominates strategy L. True or False?b) Find a mixed strategy that dominates action T.Question 2 (2 points):Find the all Nash equilibria (in pure and mixed strategies) of the following game (byrepresenting graphically the best response functions):L RT 10, 2 1, 1B 3, 3 2, 7Question 3 (3 points):Consider the following centipede game:a) Define each player strategies.b) Find the subgame perfect equilibria of this game.Game Theory CourseMaster in Economics 2015/16Universidad de GranadaTEST II:GAME THEORYHand in not later than Friday 05, 2016February 1, 2016Question 4 (2 points):Consider two firms competing for the same market. Firm 1 has been operating in the marketfor years and the technology it uses is known. Firm 2 is new in the market and it has notannounced yet the technology that it will use. Suppose that with a 40% of probability this firmwill use a new more efficient technology, instead of the old technology used by firm 1. Thetechnology that it uses is only known by firm 2. These two firms have two possibilities: Put alow price (L)E or put a high price (H). The payoffs for each of the firm are determined in thefollowing table:a) Define the states of the game and for each player the signals it may receive and thesignal functionb) Determine the best response functions for each of the players.c) Obtain the Nash equilibria of the game.Question 5 (1 points):In an infinitely repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma a version of what is known as a “tit for tat”strategy of a player I is described as follows:• There are two “statuses” that player i might be in during any period: “normal” and“revenge”;• In a normal status player i cooperates;• In a revenge status player i defects• From a normal status, player i switches to the revenge status in the next period only ifthe other player defects in this period;• From the revenge status, player i automatically switches back to the normal status inthe next period regardless of the other player’s action in this period.Notice that this tit-for-tat strategy is slightly different from the one that appears in yournotes.In the following infinitely repeated gameIf both players play Tit for Tat strategy (starting in a normal status), can (C,C) be hold as a Nashequilibrium?

2.  (15 points).

UCLA has hired you to write an algorithm to schedule their final exams. Each quarter, UCLA offers n different classes. There are r different rooms on campus and t different time slots in which exams can be offered. You are given two arrays E[1..n] and S[1..r] where E[i] is the number of students enrolled in the ith class, and S[j] Is the number of seats in the jth room. At most one final exam can be held in each room during each time slot. Class i can hold its final exam in room j only if E[i] < S[j].

a. (12 pts) Write an algorithm (in bullet form) to assign a room and a time slot to each class (or report correctly that no such assignment is possible).

b. (3 pts) Provide time complexity analysis.

3.  (15 points).

Let T be an n-node tree rooted at some node r. We want to place as few guards as possible on nodes of T, such that every edge of T is guarded: an edge between a parent node v and its child w is guarded if one places a guard on at least one of these two nodes v, w.

a. (11 pts) Give an O(n) time algorithm (in bullet form) for finding an optimal solution to the problem (Dynamic programming might be a good approach).

b. (4 pts) Provide time complexity analysis. 

4.   (20 points).

A (12 pts). In a directed graph, given a start node and an end node, design an algorithm (in bullet form) to find the minimum number of edges that need to be removed so that the start node and end node are disconnected.

B (8 pts). Prove the correctness of your algorithm.

5. (15 points).

a. (3 pts) Provide a polynomial time algorithm for the traveling salesman problem.

b. (2 pts) Does Maximum Clique require exponential time to solve?

c. (10 pts) Show that Maximum Independent Set is polynomial-time reducible to Vertex Cover in a graph (Reminder: Vertex Cover is a minimum set of vertices where each edge touches at least one of these vertices).

6. (20 points).  Design an O(n**2) algorithm to find 3 numbers from an integer array (containing positive and negative integers) of length n so that their sum equals zero.
