. Find the Nash equilibrium of the following modified Rock-Paper-Scissors game: • When rock (R) beats scissors (S), the winner’s payoff is 10 and the loser’s payoff is −10. • When paper (P) beats rock, the winner’s payoff is 5 and the loser’s payoff is −5. • When scissors beats paper, the winner’s payoff is 2 and the loser’s payoff is −2. • In case of ties, both players receive 0 payoff. You are suposed to create a system of equations and then solve for them and find 3 probabilities- please show how to do that

Suppose two players play a two-period repeated game, where the stage game is the normal-form game shown below. Is there a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium in which the players select (A, X) in the first period? If so, fully describe such equilibrium. If not, explain why not. Player 1 has choice A, B; Player 2 has choice X, Y, Z. Payoff: (A,X)-(5,7), (A,Y)-(2,4), (A,Z)-(3,8), (B,X)-(1,4), (B,Y)-(3,5), (B,Z)-(1,4)
Consider the following representation of a hockey shootout. The shooter can shoot on their forehand, or deke to their backhand, and the goalie can anticipate either move. The number in each cell in the table below represents the percentage chance that the shooter scores for each pair of pure strategies. Anticipate Forehand Anticipate Backhand Shoot Forehand 20 40 Deke Backhand 40 10 In the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium of this game, what is the percentage chance that the player scores? (ie. An 80% chance should be recorded as 80)
Consider the game below for Player 1 and Player 2. For each cell in the game table, explain why or why not that cell (and its associated strategies) can or cannot be a Nash equilibrium. Given your answer, determine the Nash equilibrium/equilibria and Nash equilibrium outcome(s), if it exists.
In the game shown below, Players 1 and 2 are competing over how to divide up $100. Each player must move at the same time without knowledge of the other player’s move. The table shows the payoff for Player1 (Player 2’s payoff is $100 Player 1’s Payoff). Find the Nash equilibrium(s) for this game. That is, what strategy should Player 1 and Player 2 use for this game? If the Players use their optimal strategy, what will be the payoff for each player in this game? Player 2 Player 1 Left Middle Right Up 40 30 50 Middle 20 50 40 Down 30 20 30
Consider the game shown below. In this game, players 1 and 2 must move at the same time without knowledge of the other player’s move. Player 1’s choices are shown in the row headings (A/B), Player 2’s choices are shown in the column headings (C/D). The first payoff is for the row player (Player1) and the second payoff is for the column player (Player 2). Player 2 Player 1 C D A 8, 3 2, 4 B 7, 4 3, 5 Pick the correct answer: Player 1: Has a dominant strategy to choose A Has a dominant strategy to choose B Has a dominant strategy to choose C Has a dominant strategy to choose D Does not have a dominant strategy Player 2: Has a dominant strategy to choose A Has a dominant strategy to choose B Has a dominant strategy to choose C Has a dominant strategy to choose D Does not have a dominant strategy The Nash equilibrium outcome to this game is: A/C A/D B/C B/D There is no pure strategy Nash equilibrium for this game
Consider the following game. There are two payers, Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1 chooses a row (10, 20, or 30), and Player 2 chooses a column (10/20/30). Payoffs are in the cells of the table, with those on the left going to Player 1 and those on the right going to player 2. Suppose that Player 1 chooses his strategy (10, 20 or 30), first, and subsequently, and after observing Player 1’s choice, Player 2 chooses his own strategy (of 10, 20 or 30). Which of the following statements is true regarding this modified game? I. It is a simultaneous move game, because the timing of moves is irrelevant in classifying games.II. It is a sequential move game, because Player 2 observes Player 1’s choice before he chooses his own strategy.III. This modification gives Player 1 a ‘first mover advantage’.
