A total of 76 episodes 28 from Season 1 and 48 from Season 2 were recorded between August and March Unfortunately, the educational status of the contestants was not given. The mean age is 29 years, which is less than the U. The age of contestants ranged from 18 to As for the gender and racial breakdown, approximately 50 percent are male and 83 percent white.
Table 1. Descriptive Statistics Variable No. Mean Std Dev Min. Male 1 if male 0. Pedagogical Uses 3. One hypothesis is that males are more competitive and thus more likely to play the non-co-operative strategy foe. Figure 1 shows the choices of contestants, aggregated by gender, in the trust box.
The cooperation rate, measuring the proportion of contestants playing the friend strategy, for females is These results do not support the hypothesis that females are generally less aggressive and more communal than males. Figure 1 Figure 1. Cooperation Rates by Sex Note: Female is the cooperation rate of female contestants. Male is the cooperation rate of male contestants. For the mixed-sex games, the cooperation rate for females is In single-sex male only games, the cooperation rate is There is no significant difference in how males play against females mixed games or other males single-sex games.
Because females tend to cooperate more when playing against other females, there is some evidence of solidarity. As previously mentioned, the cooperation rate for these games is However, when compared to female-mixed games, where the cooperation rate is The differences, or lack thereof, in cooperation rates between genders may be the result of contestants responding differently to the amount of prize money in the trust box.
Table 2 shows summary statistics for the level of prize money at stake in mixed- and single-sex games. Students can be instructed to use analysis of variance ANOVA to determine whether all three groups single-sex male, single-sex female, and mixed sex have the same mean. The F-value from this exercise is 5. Furthermore, statistical differences in median prize money could be tested for using bootstrapping techniques.

You only get money if the other person selects Friend anyway, and you get double for picking Foe. EDIT: Didn't know if this should go in gambling or math. Wizard Administrator.

If you want to maximize combined winnings, you should vote friend. It would make for a good survey question to ask what would you vote for.
Personally, I'd go with friend. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

If Player A chooses Foe, he will win the whole pot half of the time, and nothing the other half of the time.
The EV of choosing Foe is therefore 0. The same reasoning applies for Player B, so each has a "dominant strategy"to choose Foe. However, the situation wherein if each player chooses the dominant strategy, each suffers a worse outcome than if they had chosen the "dominated" strategy, is the classic "Prisoner's Dilemma", and the reason that it's called a "dilemma" is that there IS no optimal strategy.
The only resolution to Prisoner's Dilemma games comes about through repeated iterations, but this game only is played once per pair of contestants. The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality.
