📗 [4 points] Suppose \(n\) = witnesses heard a gunshot near 221B Baker Street. The benefit from at least one witness calling the police is \(b\) = and the cost of calling the police is \(c\) = . If no witness calls the police, everyone gets 0. In a Nash equilibrium in which every witness uses the same mixed strategy, what is the probability that no one calls the police?
📗 Answer: .
📗 [4 points] Given the following game payoff table, suppose the row player uses a mixed strategy playing U with probability \(p\), and column player uses a pure strategy. What is the smallest and largest value of \(p\) in a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium?
Row \ Col L R
U
D

Note: the following is a diagram of the best responses (make sure you understand what they are and how to draw them). The red curve is the best response for the column player and the blue curve is the best response for the row player.
