\ B A \ Draw a graph to show the expected pay-off for A. What is the value of the game. How often should A choose strategy 1? If A adopts a mixed strategy what should B do?
Objectives: Find the value for 2 x n games for Player A and Player B and analyse strategies. To understand and apply dominance to reduce pay-off matrices. To graphically represent pay-offs for 2 x n games. To begin to consider how to find mixed strategies for both players in mxn games. Mixed Strategies Nash EquilibriumGolden Balls
Pay-off matrix for player A
A’s expected pay-off
Finding the value 2-3p = 5p -2 Value (v) = (-1) x + 2 x (1 - ) = v = 3 x + (-2) x (1 - ) = P = V =
How can we find the value of the game with pay-off matrix -2 0 ? How about B’s strategy?
\ B A \ Draw a graph to show the expected pay-off for A. If A adopts a mixed strategy what should B do? What is the value of the game. How often should A choose strategy 1?
