Answer to Question 1

What we need to do is to compute the expected value of guessing and compare it to the expected value of leaving the question unanswered. The expected value of guessing if he has eliminated one answer is  (9) +  (-5) = 9/4  15/4 = -6/4 = -3/2 or -1.5 . Since this is less than the expected utility of skipping the question with a value of zero Bill should elect not to answer the question.

Answer to Question 2

D
