QUESTION 2
Player 1 and Player 2 will play one round of the Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The winner receives a payoff +1, the loser receives a payoff-1. If it is a tie, then each player receives a payoff of zero. Suppose Player 2
is using a non-optimal strategy: he/she plays Rock with probability 35%; Paper with probability 45%; and Scissors with probability 20%. Given that Player 1 knows Player 2 is using this strategy, the best response of
Player 1 is to play
O a mixed strategy with probability 1/3 each (Rock, Paper and Scissors)
O Rock with probability 100%
O Paper with probability 100%
Scissors with probability 100%
O any strategy (any strategy is a best response for Player 1)
