Three players toss coins simultaneously. For each player, P (H) = p, P (T) = q. If the result is 2H and 1T or the result is 2T and 1H, then the player that is different from the other two is called the odd man out and the game is over. If the result is 3H or 3T, then the players toss again until they get an odd man out. Find the probability that the game lasts at least 6 rounds.

Consider three players (1, 2, 3) and three alternatives (A, B, C). Players vote simultaneously for an alternative and abstention is not allowed.The alternative with more votes wins. If no alternative receives a majority, alternative A is chosen. U1 (A) = U2 (B) = U3 (C) = 2 U1 (B) = U2 (C) = U3 (A) = 1 U1 (C) = U2 (A) = U3 (B) = 0 Obtain all Nash equilibria in pure strategies.

A bowling team consists of five players. Each player bowls three games. Write a program, in python, that uses a nested loop to enter each player’s name and individual scores (for three games). You will use one variable for the name and only one variable to enter the scores. Do not use score1, score2, and score3. Compute and display the bowler’s name and average score. Also, calculate and display the average team score. YOU MUST USE A NESTED LOOP FOR...
