5. In the lecture, we have shown the following: Theorem: Suppose strategy s, (in a finite game) is strictly dominated by strat- egy ŝ; when opponents are restricted to using pure strategies. That is, Then strategy s, will never be in the support of a best response. That is, for all 0-i o; €BR;(G-;) = 0;(s})=0.

- 5. The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…In the coin game, two players begin with 13 coins. Players take turns to remove coins. At each turn each player is allowed to remove one, two, or three coins. The winner is the last player to remove coin(s). Suppose there are 9 coins remaining and it is your turn to remove coin(s). Your best strategy is to remove how many coins? a. 0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 31) Suppose that Player A can take two actions, either Up or Down. Player A is thinking to choose Up 50 percent of the time, and Down 50 percent of the time. This type of strategy is called a ____ ? 2) Consider a payoff matrix of a game shown below. In each cell, the number on the left is a payoff for Player A and the number on the right is a payoff for Player B. In order for (Down, Right) to be a unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium, a must be (greater, or smaller) than 3 and b must be (greater, or smaller) than 3. refer to image

- 12.3 Armed Conflict: Consider the following strategic situation: Two rival armies plan to seize a disputed territory. Each army's general can choose either to attack (A) or to not attack (N). In addition, each army is either strong (S) or weak (W) with equal probability, and the realizations for each army are independent. Furthermore the type of each army is known only to that army's general. An army can capture the territory if either (i) it attacks and its rival does not or (ii) it and its rival attack, but it is strong and the rival is weak. If both attack and are of equal strength then neither captures the territory. As for payoffs, the territory is worth m if captured and each army has a cost of fighting equal to s if it is strong and w if it is weak, where s <w. If an army attacks but its rival does not, no costs are borne by either side. Identify all 12.7 Exercises • 267 the pure-strategy Bayesian Nash equilibria of this game for the following two cases, and briefly describe…1.
