Question

Consider the rock-paper-scissors between Player 1 and Player 2. How many strategies does Player 2 have?a. None of the available options in this listb. 1c. 3d. 9

Answer 1

Answer is D

9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a zero-sum game whereby one's victory could only be probable if another's defeat by the same quantity; hence, the net result from the game is negative.

There are three elements – rock, paper, and scissor.

2 players in the game – 1 and 2.

So each payer's number of tactics is as follows:

Number of strategies =
`elements^(number of players)`

=
`3^(2)`

= 9

so the answer is 9
