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

A

(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=23,q=13)(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=\frac{2}{3},q=\frac{1}{3})

B

(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=23,q=13)(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=\frac{2}{3},q=\frac{1}{3})

C

(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=13,q=23)(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=\frac{1}{3},q=\frac{2}{3})

D

(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=13,q=23)(p=0,q=1);(p=1,q=0);(p=\frac{1}{3},q=\frac{2}{3})

Answer

(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=23,q=13)(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=\frac{2}{3},q=\frac{1}{3})

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (A) : (p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=23,q=13)(p=0,q=0);(p=1,q=1);(p=\frac{2}{3},q=\frac{1}{3}).
