Expected Payoff

Example

A horde of zombies is attacking the village where Anna and Ben live. They could either Help or Leave.

	Ben
Anna		Help	Leave
	Help	3, 2	0, 0
	Leave	0, 0	2, 1

Example 1:

Ben decides to flip a roll a dice. If he rolls a 1 or a 2, he would Help (probability `p=\frac{1}{3}`). Otherwise, he would Leave (probability `1 - p=\frac{2}{3}`).

Anna decides to help. Her expected payoff is

$$ E(Help) = 1 \times p + 0 \left( 1 - p \right)= 1 \times \frac{1}{3} + 0 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} $$

Example 2:

Anna decides to Help with probability `p=\frac{3}{4}`. If Ben decides to Leave, his expected payoff is

$$ E(Leave) = 0 \times \frac{3}{4} + 2 \times \frac{1}{4} = 0.5 $$
