- Consider the below payoff matrix for a game of chicken. Two players drive their cars down the center of the road directly at each other. Each player chooses SWERVE or STAY. Staying wins you more payoff only if the other player swerves. Swerving loses face if the other player stays. However, the worst outcome is when both players stay. Stay Swerve Stay -0,-0 -6,6 Swerve 6,-6 9,9 Player 1 chooses rows and Player 2 chooses columns. Denote the probability of "Stay" for Player 1 as p and for Player 2 as 9. What is the value of p so that Player 2 is indifferent between Stay and Swerve? Write your answer as a decimal number with 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.05)Consider a situation of after-match penalty shoot-out. The striker can target either East or West side of the goal. If he targets West, with 80% chance he shoots on target. If he shoots East, he is accurate with 75%. The goalkeeper has to choose the corner to jump to. If he does not guess the corner correctly and the shot is on target, then the striker scores. If the striker shoots West, the shot is on target and the goalkeeperjumps West, then with 75% chance he saves the goal. If the striker shoots East, the shot is on target and the goalkeeper jumps East, then with chance of 2/3 he saves the goal. Suppose, that it is a zero-sum game and if the striker scores his payoff is 1, otherwise it is 0.1. Formulate this situation as a strategic game and Find all Nash equilibria of the game.If the players play pure strategies, the game has no Nash equilibrium. But what if they choose their moves randomly? Let each player instead opt for a mixed strategy instead of a pure strategy. The first will play action Z with probability p, and the second will play action L with probability q. At which pair (p, q) are the mixed strategies of the players in equilibrium? At which pair (p, q) does neither player want to change strategy? When are both strategies simultaneously the best response?
- In a gambling game, Player A and Player B both have a $1 and a $5 bill. Each player selects one of the bills without the other player knowing the bill selected. Simultaneously they both reveal the bills selected. If the bills do not match, Player A wins Player B's bill. If the bills match, Player B wins Player A's bill. Develop the game theory table for this game. The values should be expressed as the gains (or losses) for Player A. Is there a pure strategy? Why or why not? Determine the optimal strategies and the value of this game. Does the game favor one player over the other? Suppose Player B decides to deviate from the optimal strategy and begins playing each bill 50% of the time. What should Player A do to improve Player A’s winnings? Comment on why it is important to follow an optimal game theory strategy.$11. Anne and Bruce would like to rent a movie, but they can't decide what kind of movie to get: Anne wants to rent a comedy, and Bruce wants to watch a drama. They decide to choose randomly by playing "Evens or Odds." On the count of three, each of them shows one or two fingers. If the sum is even, Anne wins and they rent the comedy; if the sum is odd, Bruce wins and they rent the drama. Each of them earns a payoff of 1 for winning and 0 for losing "Evens or Odds." (a) Draw the game table for "Evens or Odds." (b) Demonstrate that this game has no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies.There is a beach with nine regions in it and two pop sellers must choose in which region to situate. Customers in each region walk to the closest seller to buy a pop. Each pop is sold for $1 each. Suppose that the customers are not distributed evenly across the regions. Regions 2 through 9 each have 10 customers but region 1 has x customers. For what values of x does the strategy of locating in region 2 dominate locating in region 1? In particular, what is the maximum value of x for this to be true? Please show all your calculations in your written solution.
- Suppose that two firms, firm A and firm B, are competing in the market. Assume that each firm has two strategies available: “no promotion” and “extensive promotion”. If both firms choose “no promotion”, each firm will get a payoff of 8000. If both firms choose “extensive promotion”, each firm will get a payoff of 5000. If one firm chooses “no promotion” and the other firm chooses “extensive promotion”, the firm that chooses “no promotion” will get a payoff of 4000 and the firm that chooses “extensive promotion” will get a payoff of 10000.a.

Suppose Player B decides to deviate from the optimal strategy and begins playing each bill 50% of the time. What should Player A do to improve Player A’s winnings? Comment on why it is important to follow an optimal game theory strategy. с.Cameron and Luke are playing a game called ”Race to 10”. Cameron goes first, and the players take turns choosing either 1 or 2. In each turn, they add the new number to a running total. The player who brings the total to exactly 10 wins the game. a) If both Cameron and Luke play optimally, who will win the game? Does the game have a first-mover advantage or a second-mover advantage? b) Suppose the game is modified to ”Race to 11” (i.e, the player who reaches 11 first wins). Who will win the game if both players play their optimal strategies? What if the game is ”Race to 12”? Does the result change? c) Consider the general version of the game called ”Race to n,” where n is a positive integer greater than 0. What are the conditions on n such that the game has a first mover advantage? What are the conditions on n such that the game has a second mover advantage?
- Let there be two players in a game, Player 1 and Player 2. Consider a jar containing 5 snakes. 3 of the snakes in the Kjar are venomous, while the remaining 2 are non-venomous. In the game, both the players have to put their hand in the jar one after the other and pick a snake out. Each snake, if picked out of the jar, will bite the player's hand. The event of picking a venomous snake, or equivalently, a venomous snake's bite will earn the player zero points. On the other hand, the event of picking a non-venomous snake, or equivalently, a non-venomous snake's bite will earn the player one point. Let X denote Player 1's pick and let Y denote Player 2's pick. Suppose Player 1 is the first to pick out a snake. The expected value of Player 1's pick is: E(X)= (Express your answer as a fraction or round your answer to two decimal places)You and I play the following game. Hidden from you, I put a coin in my hand: with probability p it is a 10 pence coin and otherwise it is a 20 pence coin. You now guess which coin is in my hand: you guess it is 20 pence with probability s and otherwise you guess it is a 10 pence coin. You get to win the coin if you guess correctly and otherwise win nothing. What (in terms of p and s) is your expected gain in pence from playing this game once with me? Challenge: suppose we are going to play repeatedly and you want to maximise your gain and I wish to minimise my loss. What value of p should I choose and what value of s should you choose? (This question is somewhat ill-defined, but it does have an interesting possible answer.) (Note: anything labelled "challenge" will not be part of the hand-in.)John and Paul are walking in the woods one day when suddenly an angry bear emerges from the underbrush. They each can do one of two things: run away or stand and fight. If one of them runs away and the other fights, then the one who ran will get away unharmed (payoff of 0) while the one who fights will be killed (payoff -200). If they both run, then the bear will chase down one of them and eat them to death but the other one will get away unharmed. Assuming they don't know which one will escape we will call this a payoff of -100 for both. If they BOTH fight, then they will successfully drive off the bear but they may be injured in the process (payoff -20). Construct a payoff matrix for this game and identify the pure strategy Nash equilibrium. (Indicate it with words not with a circle!)
