4. Consider a two player game with Fred and Barney, who tal turns removing matchsticks from a pile. They start with 33 matchsticks, and Fred goes first. On each turn, ecach player may remove either one, two, three, four, or five matchsticks. The player to remove the last matchstick wins the game. What are the optimal strategies for each player? Who will win? b. Suppose now that they can remove up to six matchsticks, how will the optimal strategies change for- each player? a.
Which of the following statements about Nash Equilibria in a two-player one-shot simultaneous game is FALSE? O If one player has a dominant strategy, a Nash Equilibrium is guaranteed. O If both players have a dominant strategy, a Nash Equilibrium is guaranteed. O A Nash Equilibrium is conditional on at least one player having a dominant strategy. O It is possible for a game in pure strategies to not have a Nash Equilibrium. It is possible for a two-person game to have more than two Nash Equilibria.
Which of the following accurately describes a player's strictly dominant strategy? O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. There is always at least one player who has one in every game.. O It is the strategy a player uses in the Nash equilibrium of a game. Since a Nash equilibrium always exists, players always have a strictly dominant strategy. O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. A player may or may not have one. O It is a strategy that is better than all the player's other strategies, no matter what the other players do. Every player has a dominant strategy in every game.. O It is the strategy a player uses in the Nash equilibrium of a game. Since a Nash equilibrium may not exist, players may not always have a strictly dominant strategy.
