Describe the game and find all Nash equilibria in the following situation: Each of two players chooses a non-negative number. In the choice (a1, a2), the payoff of the first player is equal to a1(a2 - a1), and the payoff of the second player is equal to a2(1 – a1 – a2).
Consider a sequential game where there are two players, Jake and Sydney. Jake really likes Sydney and is hoping to run in to her at a party this weekend. Sydney can't stand Jake. There are two parties going on this weekend and each player's payoffs are a function of whether they see one another at the party. The payoff matrix is as follows: Sydney Party 1 Party 2 Party 1 6, 18 18, 6 Jake Party 2 24,8 0,24 a) Does this game have a pure strategy Nash Equilibrium? b) What is the mixed strategy Nash Equilibrium? c) Now suppose Sydney decides what party she is going to first.

Also, what is the Nash equilibrium of this game?
Three married couples in the state of Maryland—Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice, and Ross and Mike (remember, same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Maryland)—are thinking about renting a boat to go sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. The cost of a boat rental is $600. Each of the three couples puts some amount of money in an envelope. Thus, each player in this game is a couple. If the total amount collected is at least $600, then the boat is rented. If the amount collected is more than $600, then the money left over after renting the boat is spent on wine. If the total amount collected is less than $600, then they do not rent the boat, and the money is spent on a dinner. Assume the benefit to a couple from the boat trip is 400, the benefit from each dollar spent on wine is 50 cents, the benefit from each dollar spent on dinner is 40 cents, and the personal cost of the contribution to a couple equals the amount of contribution. For example, if the boat is rented, $50 of wine is purchased…
Consider a simultaneous move game with two players. Player 1 has three possible actions (A, B, or C) and Player 2 has two possible actions (D or E.)
