Consider the strategic-form game depicted below: b 3,0 0,2 0,2 3,0 2,0 2, 1 a. Does this game have a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies? Explain a b C a Let p₁(a) denote the probability with which player 1 (the row player) plays strategy a, let p₁(b) be the probability with which she plays strategy b, and p₁(c) be the probability with which she plays strategy c. Let p2(a) be the probability with which player 2 (the column player) plays strategy a and let p2(b) be the probability with which he plays strategy b b. Show that there is no mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where p₁(a) > 0, p₁(b) > 0, and p₁(c) > 0 c. Show that there is no mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where p₁(a) > 0, p₁(b) > 0, and p₁(c) = 0 d. Show that there is no mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where p₁(a) > 0, p₁(b) = 0, and p₁(c) > 0 e. There is a (unique) mixed strategy Nash equilibrium where p₁(a) = 0, p₁(b) > 0, and p₁(c) > 0.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

a A Nash equilibrium in pure strategies occurs when no player can unilaterally change their strategy to obtain a higher payoff In this game we need to examine each strategy profile to determine if it ... View the full answer
