Random Actions in Experimental Zero-Sum Games

A mixed strategy, a strategy of unpredictable actions, is applicable to business, politics, and sports. Playing strategies, however, poses challenge, as the game theory involves calculating probabilities executing random actions. I test i.i.d. hypotheses Nash equilibrium with simplest experiments in which student participants play zero-sum games multiple iterations possibly figure out optimal (equilibrium) through games. My results confirm that most players behave differently from prediction for 2x2 (matching-pennies) 3x3 (e.g., rock-paper-scissors game). The indicate need further develop theoretical models explain non-Nash behavior.
