True

False

Answer 1

16) Wikipedia is a classic example of the company which faces a contributing dilemma, as a lot of people contribute to their content and all of that is used for the holistic good of the society and to track every person who has ever contributed to the system would be practically impossible.

17) False, Joe's best choice should be to remain quiet and not give any evidence against ED. As If Joe has trusted Ed for not giving the evidence, Ed may also have trusted Joe for the same.

and It is not ethically and morally correct to get Ed punished for the crime they both committed together.

Also if in any case they both gave the evidence, both of them would have to suffer the longest and hardest punishment.

18) True, Regulatory solutions to social dilemmas include all these, and not only these it has many incentives and other schemes which are also included to solve social dilemmas.
