This payoff matrix shows a two-player variant of the sushi game, but where B really loves sushi, so her payoffs from getting to eat sushi are higher than A's, and her payoffs from there not being enough sushi are lower than A's. Payoffs are ordered A, B. В A 10, 15 10, 25 20, 15 0, -5 A. Find and state all of the mixed strategy Nash equilibria of the game. If there are multiple equilibria, number them in preparation for answering part "c." B. (From the week 6 lectures) Draw a graph of the expected payoffs for each player. Use these graphs to formulate the decision rule for each player. C. (From the week 6 lectures) Draw a graph of the best replies of the two players. Carefully label each Nash equilibrium.

Normal Form Game: The table below provides a normal form, 2 x 2 game. The players are Column and Row. Column can choose either LEFT or RIGHT, and Row can choose either UP or DOWN. Their payoffs for each combination of moves are provided in the four boxes. Column Row UP DOWN The combination of moves (UP, LEFT) is a Nash-Equilibrium. A. False O B. True 2 LEFT -1 -7 3 6 RIGHT -5 -10
For the game below, find any Nash equilibrium. Show your work and report any Nash equilibrium strategies.
Consider the game with the payoffs below. Which of the possible outcomes are MORE efficient than the Nash Equilibrium (NE)? Note, they do NOT need to be Nash equilibria themselves, they just need to be more efficient than the NE. Multiple answers are possible, but not necessary. You need to check ALL correct answers for full credit.

1. Consider the following N-player game. Each agent has a choice of strategy A or B. The state variable is x, the proportion of agents choosing strategy A. For every agent, the utility of choosing strategy A is U(A) = 10 +2x and the utility of choosing strategy B is U(B) = 10+3x. What is the Nash equilibrium to this game? Explain.
8) Consider the following game: There are 10 players. Each player is asked to write a number between 0 and 100. The player whose choice is closest to half of the average is the winner. Describe the game and discuss what would you expect to be the average number if the game were played in class with your colleagues. Do you expect them to play the Nash equilibrium strategy? Explain.

Every player is choosing a best response against the other players' strategies. Every player has a positive payoff. The players maximize the sum of their payoffs. The players choose identical strategies. If the game is repeated, which cooperative actions could benefit both players? O Both players choose C. Player 1 chooses C, Player 2 chooses D. O Player 1 chooses D, Player 2 chooses C. Both players choose D.
