Description
Please refer to the web link below from Freakonomics that examines cheating in sumo wrestling to answer the following questions.
(a) Sumo Wrestling uses a tournament structure. Tournaments are designed so that participants use maximum effort. That is, small differences in performance lead to large differences in outcomes. What a particular number of wins generated the incentive to cheat? This question is worth Ten Points.
(b) Why did that particular number of wins generate the incentive to win? How does that relate to the idea of “winner take all ”? What type of cheating behavior was generated? This question is worth Fifteen Points.
