Question

The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Manuel/Poornima)? to choose (left/right)? .

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Manuel chooses (left/right)? and Poornima chooses (left/right)?

3.Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Manuel and Poornima are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Manuel chooses Right and Poornima chooses Right, Manuel will receive a payoff of 5 and Poornima will receive a payoff of 3. chooses Right and Poornima Left Right 6,3 5,3 Left 4,4 Manuel Right 5,4

Explanation / Answer

The only dominant strategy in the game is for Poornima to choose Left

Nash equilibrium is (Right,Left) i.e. Manuel chooses right and Poornima chooses Left.
