You and a rival are engaged in a game in which there are three possible outcomes: you win, your rival wins (you lose), or the two of you tie. You get a payoff of 50 if you win, a payoff of 20 if you tie, and a payoff of 0 if you lose. What is your expected payoff in each of the following situations where nature decides if you win or not: A) There is a 50% chance the game ends in a tie, 10% chance you win (and therefore a 40%
chance you lose).
B) There is a 50-50 chance of winning and there are no ties.
C) There is an 80% chance you lose and a 10% chance you win or tie.
