The article discusses the role of probability in game theory, particularly through the concept of mixed strategies. By allowing players to select actions based on probabilities, games become more complex and nuanced. This framework applies to repeat scenarios, exemplified by sporting games like soccer, where players' strategies are interdependent. Understanding how likely opponents are to choose certain actions is vital. This article is part of a four-chapter series on game theory fundamentals, encouraging readers to grasp earlier chapters for foundational concepts.
Players' beliefs about opponents' actions influence strategies in games, particularly in complex scenarios, introducing the concept of mixed strategies and probability for analysis.
Introducing probability allows us to analyze repeated games, like rock-paper-scissors, where players assign likelihoods to their choices, enriching the strategic understanding of competition.
