What is the Nash Equilibrium in a game?A. A situation where all players cooperate for maximum gainB. A situation where no player can improve their outcome by changing their strategy unilaterallyC. A situation where players always choose the same strategyD. A situation where players randomly select strategies
Using game theory what are some examples in where Nash equilibrium is incorporated?
Sam and Sarah are thinking about getting married. However if either of them cheats on the other, they would get a payoff of 10, while the other person gets zero. If neither cheat, they stay with each other and get a payoff of 7 each and if both cheat, the relationship falls apart and each get a payoff of 1.
What is the Nash equilibrium of this game?
a. Cheat, Cheat
b. Not cheat, Not cheat
Sam cheats, Sarah doesn't
Sarah cheats, Sam doesn't

- Could you put this game tree into game matrix form and find the nash equilibrium please. I will up votearrow_forwardPlease answer all parts. Two construction companies EdilA and EdilB take part in a race contract to build a school. Both can bid 1000, 2000 or 3000. The winner (the lowest offer) builds the school and pays 900 of costs. 1. When both bid the same amount, EdilA wins the contract. Find the Nash equilibrium. 2. Assume instead that when both bid the same, neither gets the contract, and furthermore suffer a penalty of 10. Find the Nash equilibrium. 3. Assume instead that when both bid the same, each builds half the school (but sustains 600 of costs, thus more than half). Find the Nash equilibrium. 4. Under the hypothesis of point 2 assume that EdilB can observe the offer made by EdilA before it makes its offer, and that EdilA anticipates that. Find the Nash equilibrium by backward induction of this sequential game.arrow_forwardThis is game theory questionarrow_forward

- Game Theory I am trying to assign numbers (theoretical)to a game im making. Its about Tipping. Its based on 3 different efforts a server has showed Can you assign numbers to each of these. This is all made up so you can use whatever values they just need to be in regard to the other values. Thanks. I was thinking to start on high effort Tip could be +10 and no tip could be -10 Best and worst scenario. You do high effort service and get tipped and high effort with no tip. Thanksarrow_forwardConsider the following game where two players have to decide if they want to buy a movie ticket or a baseball ticket. They have the highest payoffs when they both buy tickets to the same activity, but must decide simultaneously what to buy without knowing what the other person will do. a. Does either player have a dominant strategy? b. How many equilibria does this game have? c. Is this an example of a prisoner’s dilemma? Explain. d. What will be the outcome if your friend buys their ticket first and you can observe their choice?arrow_forwardSolve for the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) in each of the following games. (a) The following two-by-two game is a little harder to solve since firm 2’spreferred strategy depends of what firm 1 does. But firm 1 has a dominantstrategy so this game has one Nash equilibrium. Firm 2 Launch Don’tFirm 1 Launch 60, -10 100, 0 Don’t 80, 30 120, 0 What is the Nash equilibrium of this simultaneous-move game? (b) What would the outcome of this game be if instead firm 1 moved first and then, after seeing what firm 1 chose, firm 2 chose it strategy? In this case firm 1 doesn’t necessarily need to choose a best response, but firm 2 must choose a best response since it moves second.arrow_forward
