4 Kareem and Sam play a game in which each holds a hand of three cards.
- Kareem's cards are numbered 1, 2 and 5.
- Sam's cards are numbered 3, 4 and 6 .
In each round Kareem and Sam simultaneously choose a card from their hand, they show their chosen card to the other player and then return the card to their own hand.
- If the sum of the numbers on the cards shown is even then the number of points that Kareem scores is \(2 k\), where \(k\) is the number on Kareem's card.
- If the sum of the numbers on the cards shown is odd then the number of points that Kareem scores is \(4 - s\), where \(s\) is the number on Sam's card.
- Complete the pay-off matrix for this game, to show the points scored by Kareem.
- Write down which card Kareem should play to maximise the number of points that he scores for each of Sam’s choices.
- Determine the play-safe strategy for Kareem.
- Explain why Kareem should never play the card numbered 1.
Sam chooses a card at random, so each of Sam’s three cards is equally likely.
Calculate Kareem's expected score for each of his remaining choices.
