Your teacher in Principle of Finance class told you that there will be no averaging of the grades or curve grading. It means that students will get the marks they received and there is no adjustment. This also means that every student has a possibility to get A grade because your grade does not depend on the performance of your classfellows. Therefore, Zainab decided to study 3 hours every day regardless of what your classfellows are doing. In the language of game theory what kind of strategy she is using. Please explain your answer.

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.

Analyze the following game. Create payoff bimatrices consistent with the information given. Explain your choices. Then find the maximin moves, all dominated strategies for all players. Game: Adam, Bill, and Cindy are registering for a foreign language class independently and simultaneously. The available classes are ITA100 and FRE100. They d not care much which, but they care with whom they share the class. Bill and Cindy want to be in the same class, but want to avoid Adam. Adam wants to be in the same class as Bill or Cindy, or even better, both.
Player 1 and Player 2 will play one round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The winner receives a payoff +1, the loser receives a payoff -1. If it is a tie, then each player receives a payoff zero. Suppose Player 2 is using a non-optimal strategy: he/she plays Rock with probability 35%; Paper with probability 45%; and Scissors with probability 20%. Given that Player 1 knows Player 2 is using this strategy, the best response of Player 1 is to play O a mixed strategy with probability 1/3 each (Rock, Paper and Scissors) O Scissors with probability 100% O any strategy (any strategy is a best response for Player 1) O Rock with probability 100% O Paper with probability 100%

Part 1 Sam and Ray do not like each other and will be miserable if they attend the same event. Both are going out Friday night to either the bar or a concert; and Sam will publicly tweet where he is going before Ray makes his plans. Each will get 6 payoff from going to a concert and 2 benefit from going to the bar if the other is not there. If both go to the same venue, they will get a payoff of zero. Write a game tree for this game and find the equilibrium strategy and equilibrium payoffs clearly labeling both. Part 2 Take the game from the question above and switch the order of the decisions. Write a game tree for this game and find the equilibrium strategy and equilibrium payoffs clearly labeling both. Has the equilibrium strategies and payoffs changed from the question above? Explain why.
5. 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…
