Question: In an online tutorial setting, students can opt to activate their webcams (ON) or keep them off (OFF), while the tutor always has hers on.

In an online tutorial setting, students can opt to activate their webcams (ON) or keep them off (OFF), while the tutor always has hers on. Assume that there are two students in the class, Player 1 and Player 2. If a student chooses ON while the other student opt for OFF, the student receives a payoff of 7 when playing OFF, while the student turning on the webcam experiences a 3 payoff due to feeling awkward. If no student activates their webcam (both play OFF), both students receive a 4 payoff. However, if both students turn on their webcams (both play ON), there's a 6 payoff for both students for a more engaging class environment. What is the Nash equilibrium in mixed strategies of the game? Student 1 plays ON with probability a, and Student 2 plays ON with probability b. Group of answer choices (a=1/5, b=1/5) (a=1/4, b=1/4) None of the other answers are correct. (a=1/2, b=1/2) (a=1/3, b=1/3)
