Player II also has one decision to make but it depends on what player I has done and
the outcome of that decision. That’s why it’s called a sequential game. The pure strategies for
player II are summarized in the following table.
II1 :If I spins, then pass; If I passes, then spin.
II2 :If I spins, then pass; If I passes, then pass.
II3 :If I spins, then spin; If I passes, then spin.
II4 : If I spins, then spin; If I passes, then pass.
In each of these strategies, it is assumed that if player I spins and survives the shot, then
player II makes a choice. Of course if player I does not survive, then player II walks away
with the pot.
The payoffs are now random variables and we need to calculate the expected payoff to player 1.
In player1 1 against player 2 1 ,the payoff to I is 1/2 with probability 5/6 and -1 with probability 1/6 .The expected payoff to I is then
I1 against II1 : 5/6 (1/2) +1/6(-1) =1/4
and
I12 against II1 :5/6(-2)+ 1/6(1) = -3/2
Strategy II3 says the following: If I spins and survives, then
spin, but if I passes, then spin
and fire. The expected payoff to I is
I1 against II3 : 5/6(5/6(0)+1/6(1)) +1/6(-1) = -1/36 and
I2 against II3 : 5/6(-2)+1/6(1) = -3/2
Continuing in this way, we play each pure strategy for player I
against each pure strategy
for player II. The result is the following game matrix:
Now that we have the game matrix we may determine optimal
strategies. This game is
actually easy to analyze because we see that player II will never
play II1, II2, or II4 because
there is always a strategy for player II in which II can do better.
This is strategy II3 that gives
player II 1/36 if I plays I1, or 3/2 , if I plays I2. But player I
would never play I2 if player II plays
II3 because ?3/2 < ? 1/36 . The optimal strategies then for each
player are I1 for player I, and
II3 for player II. Player I should always spin and fire. if I
should always spin and fire if I has arrived his shot.
The expected payoff to player 1 is -1/36.

Need a little help with this problem but I'm not certain if the following change asked will change all the payoffs to player I or just that one change. But I really need this part. 1n a version of the game Russian roulette, made infamous in the movie The Deer Hunter, two players are faced with a six-shot pistol loaded with one bullet. The players ante $1000, and player I goes first. At each play of the game, a player...

write clearly please if you’re hand writing. can’t understand answers sometimes thanks 2) Consider a general version of the above game with N players from Hawkins, Indiana, each of whom has $10 to contribute to the end described above. All money contributed to the "Destroy the Demogorgon Fund" gets multiplied by an amount B > 1 and then divided equally among all N players from Hawkins, including those who DO NOT contribute. Thus, if all N players contribute $10 to...
