Exercise 5

Below,you will find the payoff matrix for a twoplayer game,where each player has three possible strategies: A,B,and C. The payoff for player 1 is listed in the lower left portion of each cell. Assume there is no cooperation among players.
a. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so,which player or players,and what is the dominant strategy?
b. Can we predict the outcome of this game from the payoff matrix using the methods you've learned in the chapter? Why or why not?
c. Suppose that strategy C is no longer available to either player. Does either player have a dominant strategy now? Can you now predict the outcome of the game? Explain.
