In Annie Dillard’s essay, Living Like Weasels, she states the difference between our lives as humans and the kind of life weasels live. She talks about how humans make their own decisions while weasels do anything they do because of instinct. People should live mindlessly and conform their necessities instead of making choices their whole life. To begin with, Dillard argues that people are not living the right way and they should change their form of living. People are always making decisions, even when they don’t need to.
Therefore, we get 18 20 P {X > 0} = P {win first bet} + P {lose, win, win} = + · 38 38 18 38 2 ≈ 0.5981. (b) The strategy described above is not a “winning” strategy because if the gambler wins then he or she wins $1. However, a loss would either be $1 or $3. (c) We first note that the random variable X can take on 1, −1 and −3, where “–” denotes that the gambler loses money. Then we obtain P {X = 1} = P {win first bet} + P {lose, win, win} = 18 20 + · 38 38 18 · 38 18 38 20 38 2 2 , , P {X = −1} = P {lose, lose, win} + P {lose, win, lose} = 2 · P {X = −3} = P {lose, lose, lose} = 20 38 3 .
2. What might go wrong in the future? The Internal Venture concept requires a lot of capital funding from Telecam so, if this concept has been promoted but most venture funded turn to be failure, the financial standing could be in trouble.

CanGo has very low profitability ratios, low turnover ratios and a high debt equity ratio. All these demonstrates that it’s in Cango’s best interest to take control of their financial performance, and focus on generating cash for the company, make better use of available resources and ensure that they are able to generate profit.

He is choosing certainty over uncertainty, and is risk averse. An individual who purchases a lottery ticket is subjecting himself to a large chance of losing a small amount (£1 for lottery ticket) and a small chance of winning a large amount, rather than keeping his £1 to avoid risk all together (Friedman and Savage. 1948). Any decision under risk can be represented by a choice among lotteries. The general form of a lottery is [(x1,p1),(x2,p2),(x3,p3),…,(xn,pn)] where xi are objects, usually units of wealth that the individual will get if state i occurs, and pi the probability that state i occurs.
In his argument, he makes a logical fallacy. He does some computations to calculate how many children are annually born from poor parents. He makes his own assumptions that “from which number I subtract thirty thousand couples who are able to maintain their own children, although I apprehend there cannot so many,…I again subtract fifty thousand for those women who miscarry” (Swift 239). His computation there is not based on a real fact and even if it is trustworthy information, since he does not mention any source it is not considered as a true

He mentioned traders not being able to hold on to their goods so they were able to negotiate better prices.
