5. The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…
3.Students A and B decide whether to clean the dormitory. Regardless of whether the other party participates, the cleaning cost for each student to clean the dormitory is $ 8; and the benefit for each student from cleaning is $5 times the number of participants. (hint: if both of them clean the dormitory together, A and B benefit. If one cleans while the other does not, A and B benefit too) (a) Please use a game theory to briefly describe the above scenario, (that is to calculate the revenue for different strategies) (b) Draw the payoff matrix, find the Nash equilibrium.
Problem 3. Consider the following game with three firms. First, firms 1 and 2 si- multancously choose quantities q1 and q2 respectively.
