Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Game Theory: Payoff Matrix**
We are examining a payoff matrix where two players, Terry and Kerry, make simultaneous decisions. Terry’s payoff is the first number in each cell of the matrix, while Kerry’s payoff is the second number. A higher number indicates a more favorable outcome for the respective player. The matrix is structured as follows:
**Matrix Layout:**
- **Rows represent Terry’s choices:**
- Clean
- Don’t clean
- **Columns represent Kerry’s choices:**
- Clean
- Don’t clean
**Payoff Values:**
1. **If both Terry and Kerry choose to clean: (8, 2)**
- Terry’s payoff: 8
- Kerry’s payoff: 2
2. **If Terry chooses to clean and Kerry chooses not to clean: (3, 5)**
- Terry’s payoff: 3
- Kerry’s payoff: 5
3. **If Terry chooses not to clean and Kerry chooses to clean: (10, 3)**
- Terry’s payoff: 10
- Kerry’s payoff: 3
4. **If both Terry and Kerry choose not to clean: (4, 1)**
- Terry’s payoff: 4
- Kerry’s payoff: 1
**Nash Equilibrium:**
The task is to determine the Nash equilibrium of the game, which is the combination of strategies where neither player has anything to gain by changing only their own strategy. The text prompts the user to select Terry and Kerry’s actions that correspond to the Nash equilibrium.
**User Interaction:**
- Two dropdowns allow users to select actions for Terry and Kerry to determine the Nash equilibrium.
