In game i, if there is a Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies, what is it?
O There is none.
Every strategy is played with probability 1/2.
Row plays O with certainty; Column plays (N, A, S, H) with probabilities (1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/12).
Row plays (G, O) with probabilities (9/10, 1/10); Column plays (N, S) with probabilities (4/5, 1/5).
In general, a Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies requires that ...
O Players are risk-averse.
Expected payoffs with mixed strategies yield a higher payoff than any possible combination of pure strategies.
Each player takes a different action from the one that the other player anticipated.
Players get the same expected payoff from any strategy they play with non-zero probability.
