- Please answer ASAP Consider the following game played by four individuals, players 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each individual has $10,000. Each player can donate between $0 and $10,000 to build a public park that costs $20,000. If they collect enough money, they construct the park, which is worth $9,000 to each of them. However, if they collect less than $20,000, they cannot build a park. Furthermore, regardless of whether the park is built or not, individuals lose any donations that they make. a) Describe the Nash equilibria for a simultaneous game. What makes them equilibria? Hint: There are many equilibria, so you may want to use a mathematical expression! b) Suppose that players 1, 2, and 3, each donate $4,000 for the park. How much will player 4 donate and why. What are the resulting payoffs for the players? c) Suppose instead that player 1 donated first, player 2 second, player 3 third, and player 4 last. Furthermore, players could only donate in intervals of 1,000 (0, $1,000, $2,000,…arrow_forwardIn game theory, the strategy that has a higher payoff than any other strategy—no matter what theother player does—is also known as the:a) superior strategy.b) Nash equilibrium.c) dominant strategy.d) best possible outcome..arrow_forwardThe diagramm shows number of students who have TV, DVD, and Radio in different combinations.

- Given question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer: The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied. Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know. Thank youarrow_forwardMrs Moore is a agriculturalist and would like to drill for water on her farm. She needs water for irrigation and estimates the benefits of having a successful borehole as $2.0m. However, there is only a 10% chance that she will strike water if she drills and the cost of drilling is $100 000. The alternative is not to drill at all, in which case the benefit will be zero. Draw a decision tree to represent the problem. Should Mrs Moore go ahead and drill? There is another agriculturalist in a nearby state who claims to have supernatural powers to indicate underground water sources. However, he charges a fee and also travel cost. What is the most Mrs Moore should pay for the services? Before Mrs Moore drills, she could also consult a geologist who can assess the promise of the piece of land. He can tell her whether the prospects are “good” or “poor.” But he is not a perfect predictor. If there is water, the conditional probability is 0,95 that he will say that prospects are good.
