What is a leading entry?arrow_forwardcan you helparrow_forwardThe payoff matrix for a game is 3-2 4 -5 22 4-42 (a) Find the expected payoff to the row player if the row player R uses the maximin pure strategy and the column C player uses the minimax pure strategy. (b) Find the expected payoff to the row player if R uses the maximin strategy 40% of the time and chooses each of the other two rows 30% of the time while C uses the minimax strategy 50% of the time and chooses each of the other two columns 25% of the time. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) Which of these pairs of strategies is most advantageous to the row player? 0 (0) O (b)arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardFor the situation, identify the two players and their possible choices, and construct a payoff matrix for their conflict. In an attempt to gain more viewers, Channel 86 and Channel 7 are each trying to decide whether to schedule a quiz show or a reality series in their 8:00 prime time slot. Market research indicates that if Channel 86 chooses a quiz show, it will gain 5% of the market if Channel 7 runs a quiz show and lose 8% if Channel 7 runs a reality series, while if Channel 86 chooses a reality series, it will gain 9% if Channel 7 runs a quiz show and lose 9% if Channel 7 runs a reality series.

- A small tourist town has two Italian restaurants, Romano's and Giardino's. Normally both restaurants prosper with no advertising. Romano's could take some of Giardino's customers by running radio ads, and Giardino's could do the same thing. The one-month profit matrix (showing payoffs in thousands of dollars) is: Romano's Don't Advertise Advertise 4 Don't Advertise 3 Giardino's 1 Advertise 4 (a) Use best response analysis to find any pure strategies Nash equilibrium in the static (one-month) game? (b) If the game is repeated indefinitely, can the use of tit-for-tat strategies result in a Nash equilibrium? (c) Does the game have multiple equilibria if it is repeated indefinitely? (d) Would pre-play communication have implications for the repeated game equilibrium? Please explain both in the static version of the game, and also if the game is repeated indefinitely.arrow_forwardGiven the following payoff matrix: C C₁ C₂ C3 6 -3 1 0 10 -5 -6 1 0 R 1 2 r3 (a) What is the payoff when strategies and 1 C₂ are selected? The row player pays the column player 3. The row player pays the column player 10. The row player receives 3 from the column player. The row player receives 10 from the column player. (b) What is the largest gain possible for the row player? (c) What is the greatest loss possible for the column player? (d) What is the largest gain possible for the column player?arrow_forwardRefer to the payoff matrix below: B1 B2 A1 2 -1 A2 -2 3 Determine the optimal strategy for both players and the value of the game.arrow_forward

Andersonville has two gas stations, Ralph's Qwik-Serv and Charlie's Gas-n-Go. Both Ralph and Charlie are considering raising prices by 1¢, staying with their current prices, or lowering prices by 1¢. If they both make the same choice, there will be no change in their market shares, but if they make different choices, the one with the lower price will gain 4% of the market for each penny difference in their prices.
