Question

A Nash equilibrium can be identified on a payoff table when: a check mark is put next to each player's best response, and there is a cell with a check mark for each player. a check mark is put next to each player's best response, and there is a cell with no check marks in it. one cell contains the highest gain for each player, although it may not be the player's best response. each player has an equilibrium that is opposite that of the other player, so they are not in conflict.
