3. Cohen is a rational expected utility maximiser. You are given the following information about his preferences over the lotteries L1 = ((1/10, G), (3/10, W), (6/10, 12)) ~ ((3/10, G), (5/10, W), (2 /10, 12)) = L2 where G is a glass of Gin, W is a glass of Whisky and R is a glass of Rum. (Note (G, W, R) is not necessarily the order of preference). (a) Explain why there is not enough information to determine whether Cohen prefers a glass of Gin to a glass of Whisky. (b) If you are also told that Cohen prefers Rum to Gin, R >- G then what can you say about his preferences over L1 and L3 and therefore L2 and L3 where L3 = ((3/1016): (3/101W): 04/1011? Show that this implies W >- R and therefore W >- G . Also, showthatifG>-RthenR>-WandG>-W (0) Construct a VN M utility function to represent his preferences in the case where W >- G. You are now given the following additional information about his pref- erences, W >- G when he is happy and G >- W when he is depressed. (d) Explain why a VNM utility function over G, W and R cannot be used to represent his preferences. How would you model his preferences
