Discuss the validity of the statement. If the statement is always​ true, explain why. If​ not, give a counterexample.
 
If a payoff matrix has a row consisting of all​ 0's and a column consisting of all​ 0's, then the game is fair.
 
Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A. The statement is true because the game matrix will have no saddle value. Game matrices without saddle values are always fair.
 
B. The statement is false because
−1 0
0 0
fits the criteria and is not a fair game because the minimum matrix value is
−1.
 
C. The statement is false because the saddle value will be​ 0, meaning the game matrix is strictly determined. Since the saddle value is also the value of the strictly determined​ game, the game is not fair.
 
D. The statement is true because the saddle value will be​ 0, meaning the matrix game is strictly determined. Since the saddle value is also the value of the strictly determined​ game, the game is fair.
