Question
(In this and all other questions in which a game matrix is given, Player 1 chooses the row, Player 2 chooses the column, and if there is a Player 3, she chooses the matrix.) A Bc 2,1 -2,-1d -1,-1 1,3In the 2 player game above, what is Player 1's expected payoff given the mixed strategy profile ((1/4, 3/4), (2/3, 1/3))? Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 2.15).
Solution
To calculate Player 1's expected payoff, we need to multiply each of Player 1's payoffs by the probability of the corresponding strategy being chosen by both players, and then sum these products.
Player 1's strategies are A and B, with probabilities 1/4 and 3/4 respectively. Player 2's strategies are c and d, with probabilities 2/3 and 1/3 respectively.
The payoff matrix for Player 1 is:
c d
A 2 -2 B -1 1
So, the expected payoff for Player 1 is:
E = (1/4)(2/3)2 + (1/4)(1/3)(-2) + (3/4)(2/3)(-1) + (3/4)*(1/3)*1
E = 1/3 - 1/6 - 1/2 + 1/4
E = -1/12 + 1/4
E = 1/6
So, Player 1's expected payoff is approximately 0.17 when rounded to two decimal places.
