{{ extends 'global/Page.html' }} {{ block title }}Your Input: Assignment Probabilities{{ endblock }} {{ block content }}

Your reported assignment probabilities will affect your payoffs.

We use a payment rule that gives you either {{ C.BDM_PAY }} points or nothing, depending on your reported assignment probabilities and all other travelers' choices.

The rule is designed so that you maximize your chance of getting 50 points when you report your best guess for each island.

Understanding the mechanics of the payment rule will not help you make reports, but if you'd like an explanation of the rule, you may click below.

After your submission, we will randomly select one island.

We will call your reported assignment probability at this island p.

We will then simulate the assignment process, modifying your list so that the selected island is first. All other travelers' lists and priority scores will remain unchanged.

After the simulation, we will compute your score, which we will call S:

If you were sent to the selected island, your score will be S = (1 – p)².

If you were not sent to the selected island, your score will be S = (p)².

Finally, we will draw a random number R between 0 and 1.

{{ C.BDM_PAY }} points will be added to your payoff if your score is less than this number, S < R.
