For the game in FIGURE 7.6, derive players’ best-reply functions, plot them as shown in Figure 7.5, and find the Nash equilibrium.
Find all Mixed Strategy Nash Equilibrium for the normal form game given below.
Consider the following representation of a hockey shootout. The shooter can shoot on their forehand, or deke to their backhand, and the goalie can anticipate either move. The number in each cell in the table below represents the percentage chance that the shooter scores for each pair of pure strategies.

There are n possible locations that form a straight line. Further, there is one customer at each location, and customers will choose the closest vendor (and split their time at each vendor if they're equally distanced from both). The profit for each vendor equals the number of customers they attract. Using iterated elimination of dominated strategies (IEDS), what is the dominant strategy equilibrium? Explain. 2.arrow_forward
