Question

Statement 1: "In the game of chicken, two teen agers had cars and were directed to drive as fast as they could at each other and either 'Go for Broke' or 'Wimp Out'. There was a single Nash equilibrium in pure strategies that solved the game."
Statement 2: "If the game of chicken was played repeatedly (with living teens replacing the teens that died along the way in car crashes) then there is incentive for a player to develop a reputation for 'Going for Broke!"
a. Both statements are true
b. Both statements are false.
c. Statement 2 is true, ad 1 is false
d. Statement 1 is true, but 2 is false

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement 2 is true and 1 is false  ( C )

Explanation:

From the statements given above we can deduce that statement 2 is true while statement 1 is false and this is because there isn't one pure Nash Equilibrium in a pure strategy game that will solve the game as portrayed in statement 1, instead there will be two(2) pure Nash equilibrium.
