Statistics, Econometrics & Mathematical Economics Question on Probability
Two friends Aditi and Raju are deciding independently whether to watch a movie or go to a music concert that evening. Both friends would prefer to spend the evening together than apart. Aditi would prefer that they watch a movie together, while Raju would prefer that they go to the concert together. The payoff matrix arising from their actions is presented below. p and (1 - p) are the probabilities that Aditi will decide in favour of the movie and concert, respectively. Similarly, q and (1 - q) are the probabilities that Raju will decide in favour of the movie and concert, respectively. Which one of the following options correctly contains all the Nash Equilibria ? | Raju |
---|---|
Aditi | |
Movie | 2,1 |
Concert | 0,0 |
A
(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=32,q=31)
B
(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=32,q=31)
C
(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=31,q=32)
D
(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=31,q=32)
Answer
(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=32,q=31)
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (A) : (p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=32,q=31).
