Chapter 9.4, Problem 19E
GAME OF MATCHING FINGERS Robin and Cathy play a game of matching fingers. On a predetermined signal, both players simultaneously extend one, two, or three fingers from a closed fist. If the sum of the number of fingers extended is even, then Robin receives an amount in dollars equal to that sum from Cathy. If the sum of the number of fingers extended is odd, then Cathy receives an amount in dollars equal to that sum from Robin.
a. Construct the payoff matrix for the game.
b. Find the maximin and the minimax strategies for Robin and Cathy, respectively.
c. Is the game strictly determined?
d. If the answer to part (c) is yes, what is the value of the game?

Write the payoff matrix for the given game, use Rick as the row player.
Two friends, Rick and Carl, play the following game. Each one has a coin, and each decides which side to turn up. They show the coins simultaneously and make payments according to the following. If both show heads, Rick pays Carl 50 cents. If both show tails, Rick pays Carl 25 cents. If a head and a tail show, Carl pays Rick 35 cents.
Two-Finger Morra is a game in which two players each hold up one or two fingers. The payoff, in dollars, is the total number of fingers shown. R receives the payoff if the total is even, and C receives the payoff if the total is odd. Write the payoff matrix.

Write the payoff matrix for the given game, use Rachel as the row player.
Two players, Rachel and Charlie, each have two cards. Rachel has one black card with the number 3 and one red card with the number 5. Charlie has a black card with a 6 written on it and a red card with a 1. They each select one of their cards and simultaneously show the cards. If the cards are the same color, Rachel gets, in dollars, the sum of the two numbers shown. If the cards are different colors, Charlie gets, in dollars, the difference of the two numbers shown.

In this game, the player selects one of 50 identical plastic ducks from a pool. The bottom of each duck is numbered 1, 2, or 3. If you draw a duck with a 1, you win a small prize, a duck with a 2 will win you a medium prize, and a duck with a 3 will win a large prize. According to the game operator, there are 25 ducks with the number 1 on the bottom, 20 ducks with the number 2, and 5 ducks with the number 3. Use the information given to explore some of the mathematical concepts you have practiced so far by answering the questions below. Suppose that Kiara plays The Duck Game once. What is the probability that she draws a duck with the number 3 on the bottom? Explain the process you used to solve this question.

- Needs Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forwardBetting Set up the payoff matrix. When you bet on a racehorse with odds of m-n, you stand to win m dollars for every bet of n dollars if your horse wins; for instance, if the horse you bet is running at 5-2 and wins, you will win $5 for every $2 you bet. (Thus a $2 bet will return $7.) Here are some odds from a race. The favorite at 6-2 was Pleasant Tap (P). The second choice was Thunder Rumble (T) at 7-2, while the third choice was Strike the Gold (S) at 4-1. Suppose that just before the race, there has been frantic betting on Thunder Rumble, with the result that the odds have dropped to 4-5 for that horse. The odds on the other two horses remain unchanged. Assume you are making a $30 bet on one of these horses. The payoffs are your winnings. (If your horse does not win, you lose your entire bet. Of course, it is possible for none (N) of your horses to win.)

The game runs on two different servers, one located in North America (NA) and the other in Europe (EU). At any given time, players can be playing in one of three game modes: Open World, Story Instance, or Player v. Player. At 10:00 AM Pacific time on a Sunday, Gaile downloaded a list of players who were online at that time, then selected a group of 1130 of those players and recorded the game mode they were playing at that time and the server they were playing on. The results are summarized in the table below. Server Open World Story Instance Player v.
