The Accompanying Payoff Matrix Depicts the Possible Outcomes for Two

question 6

Multiple Choice

The accompanying payoff matrix depicts the possible outcomes for two players involved in a game of Ping Pong. At this point in the game, the ball has just been hit to Dagny Taggart, and she chooses whether to hit right or hit left. At the same time, John Galt chooses whether to defend right (Dagny's right) or defend left (Dagny's left) . If a player receives a payoff of 1, the player wins the point; if the player receives a payoff of ?1, the player loses the point. Use this information to answer the questions. $\begin{array} { l }&\text { John Galt }\\\text { Dagny Taggart }&\begin{array} { l }\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\text { Defendsp right }\quad\quad\quad \text { Defends left }\\\begin{array} { l }\text { Hit right }\\\\\text { Hit left}\end{array}\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline 1\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad&-1 \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\\-1&1 \\\hline -1&1\\1&-1 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}\end{array}$

-If John Defends left, Dagny's payoff is _________ if she hits right and _________ if she hits left.

• A) 1; ?1
• B) 1; 1
• C) ?1; 1
• D) ?1; ?1
• E) 0.5; ?0.5

Definitions:

Power Factor

The ratio of the true power transmitted to a load to the apparent power in the circuit, indicating efficiency in electrical systems.

RLC Parallel Circuit

An electrical circuit consisting of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C) connected in parallel, affecting the circuit's impedance and frequency response.

Capacitive VARs

Reactive power generated or absorbed by capacitive elements in an AC circuit, contributing to the total power but not to work done.

Capacitive Current

The current that flows in a capacitor due to charging and discharging of its electric field, directly proportional to the rate of change of voltage across it.
