- consider the ff game in the normal form: which of the ff is true: a. the game has dominant equilibrium A3, B3 b. A3 always dominates A2 c. A3 is a dominant strategy for Player A d. B3 is a dominant strategy for Player Barrow_forwardGiven question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer: The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied. Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know. Thank youarrow_forward13.

Just as he picks it up, two neighborhood kids, Jane and Tim, run up to him, asking if they can have it. Because game theorists are generous by nature, he says he’s willing to let them have the $20, but only according to the following procedure: Jane and Tim are each to submit a written request as to their share of the $20. Let t denote the amount that Tim requests for himself and j be the amount that Jane requests for herself. Tim and Jane must choose j and t from the interval [0,20]. If j + t ≤ 20, then the two receive what they requested, and the remainder, 20 - j - t, is split equally between them. If, however, j + t > 20, then they get nothing, and the game theorist keeps the $20. Tim and Jane are the players in this game. Assume that each of them has a payoff equal to the amount of money that he or she receives. Find all Nash equilibria.arrow_forward
- Instructions: Show all your work (including bi-matrix and/or game tree when relevant). 1. Two investors have each deposited 4 (all amounts are in $10,000s) with a bank. The bank has invested these deposits in a long-term project. If both investors make withdrawals at date 1 then each receives 2 and the game ends. If only one investor makes a withdrawal at date 1 then that investor receives 4, the other receives 0, and the game ends. Finally, if neither investor makes a withdrawal at date 1 then the project matures and the investors make withdrawal decisions at date 2. If both investors make withdrawals at date 2 then each receives 8 and the game ends. If only one investor makes a withdrawal at date 2 then that investor receives 10, the other receives 6, and the game ends. Finally, if neither investor makes a withdrawal at date 2 then the bank returns 8 to each investor and the game ends. Find the subgame-perfect outcomes.arrow_forwardConsider the following game. Players 1 and 2 are partners in a firm. If they both invest 10 ina project, the project will achieve an income of 13 per person, so both will get net earningsof 3. If only one of them invests, the project earns only 5 per person, leading to a payoff of-5 for the person who invested and 5 for the other. If none of them invests, both get nothing.They can only choose to invest 10 or not invest at all. 1. Write down the payoff matrix of the game.2. Assume that both players only care about their own material payoffs. Suppose thesepreferences are commonly known to both players. Derive the Nash equilibrium/equilibriaof the game. Does a player’s best choice depend on the strategy chosen by the otherplayer?arrow_forwardConsider the following game. Two construction firms are thinking about bidding cable stayed bridge in one of the lakes near to Warangal. The take from the bridge construction would be Rs. 20 lakhs each, but the job requires two firms (one to design and one to build the structure). Each firm could instead build apartment in smart city project. The take from apartment in smart city project is only Rs. 5 Lakhs but can be done with one firm acting alone. i.

- A particular two-player game starts with a pile of diamonds and a pile of rubies. Onyour turn, you can take any number of diamonds, or any number of rubies, or an equalnumber of each. You must take at least one gem on each of your turns. Whoever takesthe last gem wins the game. For example, in a game that starts with 5 diamonds and10 rubies, a game could look like: you take 2 diamonds, then your opponent takes 7rubies, then you take 3 diamonds and 3 rubies to win the game.You get to choose the starting number of diamonds and rubies, and whether you gofirst or second. Find all starting configurations (including who goes first) with 8 gemswhere you are guaranteed to win. If you have to let your opponent go first, what arethe starting configurations of gems where you are guaranteed to win? If you can’t findall such configurations, describe the ones you do find and any patterns you see.arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forward3arrow_forward
