Question 15.46

14. Refer to Exercise 13 to answer the following two questions.

  1. Football teams use “signs” to pass information from the coaches on the sideline to the quarterback on the field. Assume that the defensive team has stolen the offensive team’s signs and knows with certainty that the Offense will Run the ball. What should the Defense do?
  2. Assume that one of the players on the Defense used to play on the opposing team. He believes that he knows their signs, but he isn’t certain. He is 70% percent confident that the Offense will Pass the ball. What is the Defense’s optimal play against a mixed strategy of 70% Pass and 30% Run?
