-
None of the above.

-
Capital must be relatively abundant on Mars.
-
Land must be relatively abundant on Earth.

b and c are both correct.
Frage 12

None of the above.
Frage 13
Frage
Two members of a criminal gang are arrested and imprisoned. Each prisoner is in solitary confinement with no means of communicating with the other. The prosecutors lack sufficient evidence to convict the pair on the principal charge. They hope to get both sentenced to a year in prison on a lesser charge. Simultaneously, the prosecutors offer each prisoner a bargain. Each prisoner is given the opportunity either to: betray the other by testifying that the other committed the crime, or to cooperate with the other by remaining silent.
The better strategy:
Antworten
-
If A and B each betray the other, each of them serves 2 years in prison
-
If A betrays B but B remains silent, A will be set free and B will serve 3 years in prison (and vice versa)
-
If A and B both remain silent, both of them will only serve 1 year in prison (on the lesser charge)
Frage 14
Frage

Antworten
- True
