MAST30022 Decision Making
Assignment 4, Semester 1 2022
Due time: 4pm, Friday 26 August.

To complete this assignment, you need to write your solutions into the blank answer
spaces following each question in this assignment PDF.
If you have a printer (or can access one), then you must print out the assignment
template and handwrite your solutions into the answer spaces.
If you do not have a printer but you can figure out how to annotate a PDF using
an iPad/Android tablet/Graphics tablet or using Adobe Acrobat, then annotate your
answers directly onto the assignment PDF and save a copy for submission.
Failing both of these methods, you may handwrite your answers as normal on blank
paper and then scan for submission (but note that you will thereby miss valuable
practice for the exam process). In that case, however, your document should have
the same length as the assignment template otherwise Gradescope will reject your
submission. So you will need to add as many blank pages as necessary to reach that
criterion.
Scan your assignment to a PDF file using your mobile phone (we recommend Cam-
Scanner App), then upload by going to the Assignments menu on Canvas and submit
the PDF to the GradeScope tool by first selecting your PDF file and then clicking on
‘Upload PDF’.
– it is a single pdf with all pages in correct template order and the correct way up,
and with any blank pages with additional working added only at the end of the
template pages;
– has all pages clearly readable;
– has all pages cropped to the A4 borders of the original page and is imaged from
directly above to avoid excessive ’keystoning’
These requirements are easy to meet if you use a scanning app on your phone and take
some care with your submission - please review it before submitting to double check
you have satisfied all of the above requirements.
MAST30022 Semester 2, 2022 Assignment 1 1
The submission deadline is 4pm Melbourne time on Friday 26 August. You
have longer than of the normal one week to complete this assignment. Late submission
within 20 hours after the deadline will be penalised by 5% of the total available marks
for every hour or part thereof after the deadline. After that, the Gradescope submission
channel will be closed, and your submission will no longer be accepted. We recommend
you submit at least a day before the due date to avoid any technical delays. If there
are extenuating, eg medical circumstances, contact the Subject Coordinator, Dr Mark
Fackrell.
There are 4 questions, of which 2 randomly chosen questions will be marked. Note
you are expected to submit answers to all questions, otherwise a mark penalty will
apply.
Working and reasoning must be given to obtain full credit. Give clear and concise
explanations. Clarity, neatness, and style count.

1. Consider the game in extensive form shown in Figure 1 in which Player 1 owns vertices
a, d, e, f , and g, and Player 2 owns vertices b and c.

Figure 1: Game in extensive form for Question 1
For vertex x ∈ {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}, use the label Lx if the left hand edge is chosen, Rx if
the right hand edge is chosen, and Cx if there is only one possible move.
(a) Redraw the game in extensive form labelling all the edges accordingly.

(b) Describe the strategy set for each player, give the normal form of the game, and
find any pairs of pure strategies in equilibrium if the game is of
(i) perfect information;

(ii) imperfect information and Player 2 cannot distinguish between vertices b and
c, and Player 1 cannot distinguish between vertices d and e.

2. Consider the game with chance moves in extensive form shown in Figure 2 in which
Player 1 cannot distinguish between the two vertices s/he owns. Describe the strategy
set for each player and give the normal form of the game where the payoffs are expected
payoffs.
C represents Chance or Nature.
Find all pairs of Nash equilibria in pure strategies, if they exist.

.
