Consider the following representation of a Normal form game. actions a b с d x (27,29) (67,62) (83,62) (14,39) y (49,18) (41,44) (34,32) (39,31) 2 (43,43) (32,16) (36,5) (23,22) W (57,51) (68,49) (49,90) (59,38) Here each cell in the table represents an ordered pair. First element is payoff of the first player and second element is payoff of the second player. The letters a, b, c, d, x, y, z, w represent the actions.

Question
Now answer the following questions:
- Perform iterative elimination of dominated strategies on the game. Draw the new table for each iteration as shown in the lecture video. Write corresponding actions at left and up of the table. Explain why are you removing each row or column. You should reach a 2*2 game. Rewrite the table separately.
- From the 2*2 game you get in question 1, find a mixed strategy σ1=(p,1−p) for Player 1 that will make Player 2 indifferent about two actions.
- Find a mixed strategy σ2=(q,1−q) for Player 2 that will make Player 1 indifferent about two actions.
- If the players are playing the mixed strategies σ1 and σ2, they both will indifferent about their strategies, hence the strategy profile (σ1,σ2) will be a Nash Equilibrium of this game. Find the expected utility for both Player 1 u1(σ1,σ2) and Player 2 u2(σ1,σ2) at this Nash Equilibrium.
