Question 1
You have a bag with 100 identical golf balls in it. Each ball is labeled by a number between 1 and 100 (no duplicates). By paying $1 per draw, you can pick one ball from the bag. Then you can either stop and you will be paid an amount in $ equivalent to the number on the ball or you can reinsert the ball in the bag and extract again. What is the optimal strategy to maximize the gain?
