In Exercises 25–32, set up the payoff matrix.
Marketing Your fast-food outlet, Burger Queen, has obtained a license to open branches in three closely situated South African cities: Brakpan, Nigel, and Springs. Your market surveys show that Brakpan and Nigel each provide a potential market of 2,000 burgers a day, while Springs provides a potential market of 1,000 burgers per day. Your company can finance an outlet in only one of those cities. Your main competitor, Burger Princess, has also obtained licenses for these cities and is similarly planning to open only one outlet. If you both happen to locate at the same city, you will share the total business from all three cities equally, but if you locate in different cities, you will each get all the business in the city in which you have located plus half the business in the third city. The payoff is the number of burgers you will sell per day minus the number of burgers your competitor will sell per day.

- ASAP!! A firm purchases a microchip used in the manufacturing of LED screens from four different suppliers. TechZone supplies 32 percent of the total microchips, Advance Electronics 20 percent, PSP importers 23 percent, and TechParts inc. 25 percent. TechZone tends to have the best quality, as only 1 percent of its microchips arrive defective. Advance Electronics chips are 3 percent defective, PSP importers chips are 6 percent defective, and Parts Inc. are 5.5 percent defective. If a random chip is selected, what is the probability that the chip is defective A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment. What is the probability that it came from TechZone supplies? A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment.
