Cory and Dana each have three pieces of paper with the letter S
(for scissors), P (for paper), or R (for rock) on each piece. They
each place one piece of paper on a table at the same time. If both
chose the same letter, it is a draw and each gets zero
points--nobody wins, nobody loses. If one chose S and the other P,
then the first person wins and scores 1 point, while the second
loses and scores -1 because scissors can cut paper. If one chose R
and the other S, then the first person wins and scores 1 point,
while the second loses and scores -1 because rock can break
scissors. If one chose P and the other R, then the first person
wins and scores 1 point, while the second loses and scores -1
because paper can cover rock.
Cory and Dana are the players. Their actions are to choose S, P, or
R. Cory's payoffs are:
A. 0, 1, or -1
B.No answer text provided.
C. Win, lose, or draw
D. No answer text provided.
Cory's payoff are dependent on what Dana chooses.
If Cory plays S and Dana also plays S, Cory gets 0.
If Cory plays S and Dana plays P, Cory gets 1.
If Cory plays S and Dana plays R, Cory gets -1.
The same can be repeated for Cory playing P and R.
Hence we cannot tell exact payoff without knowing what Dana is going to do but
Set of possible payoffs to Cory = {0, 1, -1}
Following is the complete payoff matrix;
