Country x is planning to attack country y, and country y is anticipating the attack.
Country x can either attack by land or by sea and country y can either prepare for a land defense or a sea defense.
Both countries must choose either an all land or all sea strategy, they may not divide their forces.
The following are the probabilities of a successful invasion according to both strategies used:
--------------------------------------------------- x attacks by y defends by prob. of success --------------------------------------------------- sea sea 80% sea land 100% land land 60% land sea 100% ---------------------------------------------------1) What should the strategy of country x be, assuming the goal is to maximize the probability of a successful invasion? Assume the goal of country y to be to minimize the probability of a successful invasion.
2)What is the final probability of a successful invasion assuming both utilize an optimal strategy?
