Alright, let's go step by step. --- ## 1. Write down the payoff matrix The matrix from the table is: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3 & 5 & 1 \\ 4 & 5 & 3 & 5 \\ 5 & 3 & 5 & 1 \\ 1 & 5 & 1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} \] Row player = Player A Column player = Player B Entry = payoff to Player A (row player). We’ll solve using dominance (assuming zero-sum). --- ## 2. Check for row dominance (for Player A) - Compare \( A_1 \) and \( A_3 \): \( A_1 = (4,3,5,1) \) \( A_3 = (5,3,5,1) \) Check \( A_3 \) vs \( A_1 \): \( 5 > 4 \), \( 3 = 3 \), \( 5 = 5 \), \( 1 = 1 \) → \( A_3 \) is better than or equal in every column and strictly better in col B₁. So \( A_1 \) is dominated by \( A_3 \) (from Player A's perspective — but wait, A wants to maximize, so if another row gives ≥ in all entries with > in at least one, then the worse row can be eliminated). Actually: For row dominance (Player A choosing rows): A row \( r_1 \) dominates row \( r_2 \) if every entry of \( r_1 \ge \) corresponding entry of \( r_2 \) and > in at least one. Check \( A_3 \) vs \( A_1 \): (5,3,5,1) vs (4,3,5,1) → yes, first element bigger, rest same → \( A_1 \) dominated. Remove \( A_1 \). --- Matrix now: \[ \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 5 & 3 & 5 \\ 5 ____ _________ _______ ___ ______ _________ _______ _______ ________.
