Zara and Sue play the following game. Each of them roll a fair six-sided die once. If Sue’s number is greater than or equal to Zara’s number, she wins the game. But if Sue rolled a number smaller than Zara’s number, then Zara rolls the die again. If Zara’s second roll gives a number that is less than or equal to Sue’s number, the game ends with a draw. If Zara’s second roll gives a number larger than Sue’s number, Zara wins the game.
Find the probability that Zara wins the game and the probability that Sue wins the game.
Note: Sue only rolls a die once. The second roll, if the game goes up to that point, is made only by Zara.
Consider the following game of ’divide the dollar.’ There is a dollar to be split between two players. Player 1 can make any offer to player 2 in increments of 25 cents; that is, player 1 can make offers of 0 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1. An offer is the amount of the original dollar that player 1 would like player 2 to have. After player 2 gets an offer, she has the option of either accepting or rejecting the offer. If she accepts, she gets the offered amount and player 1 keeps the remainder. If she rejects, neither player gets anything.
Draw the game tree.

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.
