In an ongoing price war between Burger Haven (locally owned) and MacArches (a chain), both restaurant managers plan to change the price of a hamburger by 10¢. If
they both raise their prices, there will be no change in their market shares, but if they both lower their prices, the chain's national advertising will ensure that MacArches
gains 6% of the market. Again because of advertising, if Burger Haven lowers their price and MacArches raises their price, Burger Haven will gain only 5% of the market,
but if Burger Haven raises their price and MacArches lowers their price, MacArches will gain 7% of the market. Use this information to decide what the managers should
do.

Use what you learned from this decision point, and information from the chapter to answer the following question. Suppose Nike and Adidas are considering whether to develop new advertising campaigns. For each pair of strategies, the blue triangle shows Nike's payoff and the yellow triangle shows Adidas's payoff, in billions. Use this information to complete the sentences. Adidas's choices Advertise Do not advertise Advertise $6b Nike's choices -$3b $6b $14b Do not advertise $14b $10b -$3b $10b The best outcome for Nike is to choose and for Adidas to choose If Adidas chooses not to advertise, their best result will happen if Nike chooses The Nash equilibrium for this advertising game is for Nike to choose and for Adidas Answer Bank to advertise not to advertisearrow_forward2.)A jar contains 2 red, 3 green, and 6 blue marbles. In a game a player closes their eyes, reaches into the jar and randomly chooses two marbles. The player wins the game if at least one of their marbles is red.

- The equilibrium in an infinitely repeated game is the Nash equilibrium. True or false?Explainarrow_forwardGiven question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer: The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied. Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know.
