In a volleyball game between two teams , A and B, the game will be over if a team wins two out of three sets. In any set, team A has a 60 percent chance of winning the sets.

Model this game as a Markov chain. Hint: Use (WA, WB) as the states where WA is the number of sets A wins and WB is the number of sets B wins. For example state (1,0) means A won 1 set and B won 0 set. Of course, the game starts with a state of (0,0).
Identify each state of this markov chain.
Compute the expected number of sets before team A can win the game.
Compute the expected number of sets before team B can win the game.
Compute the probability that team A can win the game.
Compute the probability that team B can win the game.

This is a sequential game with two players A and B. In this game a dime is put on the table. A can take it or pass. If A takes a dime, the game ends; if A passes, then B can take 2 dimes or pass; if B takes 2 dimes, the game ends; if B passes, then A can take 3 dimes or pass; and so on until a choice of a dollar. This process is shown in the...

5. Consider the following games played between two players, A and B. Game 1: A and B have reached a verbal agreement: A would deliver a case of beer to B, and B would deliver a bag of beer nuts to A. Now, each player needs to take an action: keep the promise (to deliver the goods), break the promise. If both keep their promises, then each player gets a payoff of 5; if both break their promises, then each...

Construct and analyze a 2x2 one-shot game between two manufacturers (A and B) of competing for game consoles in which each manufacturer must choose between two different software technologies(x and y) which are not compatible with each other. What payoffs are necessary to generate two Nash equilibrium in which each manufacturer chooses the same technology? Would making your game a sequential-move encounter (in which A chooses its software platform before B)make it easier to predict the outcome of this game
