Question 1
2-3 Computing Mixed Nash Equilibrium (I) Consider the predator/prey game with a mixed strategy: mixed p 1-p

Pred\ Prey Active Passive q 1-q Active Passive and

p

2,-5 3,-2
q

3,-6 -1,0

What are

in a mixed-strategy equilibrium? (Hint: payoff of the predator

)p 1( p3

Payoffs should be equal since the predator should be indifferent.) a) 2/3 ; 1/2. b) 2/5; 1/3. c) 4/5; 3/5. d) 4/5; 2/3.

Question 2
2-5 Example: Mixed Strategy Nash Consider the penalty kick game with a very accurate kicker: mixed p 1-p

Kicker\ Goalie Left Right q 1-q Left Right

q

0,1 1,0 1,0 0,1 and in a mixed-strategy equilibrium? (Hint: payoff of the kicker when
)p 1(0 + p

be equal since the kicker should be indifferent.)
