Strategy
Yes
No
Player 2

as Player 2?

- Question > Consider the following matrix game where Player 1 moves first then Player 2 observes player 1's move and responds. Draw the game tree for the sequential move game and then determine all the Nash equilibria. Player 1 Strategy A Strategy B Strategy C Strategy D -3, -2 10, 12 9, 20 Player 2 Please show each step on how to get the answer. Thank you!

The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…arrow_forward“To be or not to be, that is the question.” Imagine that in answering this question Hamlet had the following data to consider. Hamlet must choose either “To Be” or “Not to Be.” If Hamlet chooses “To Be” then his enemy the King will make a decision to either “Kill” Hamlet or let him “Live.” If Hamlet is killed by the King his payoff in this game is 200 since he will have been killed by the King who is his uncle and who also killed Hamlet’s father, the King’s brother, who was the prior king. If the King decides to let Hamlet Live then Hamlet will be able to avenge his father’s death and his payoff will be +300. Hamlet also considers suicide an option but given the uncertainty of the afterlife if he chooses not to be then his payoff is +100 since his doesn’t what the afterlife holds for one who kills himself. Draw the complete game tree for this situation. Be sure to accurately label the tree and include the payoffs. Assume Hamlet will choose the course of action that offers the highest…arrow_forward
