Suppose felix and janet are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action left or right. the payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. for example, the lower-right cell shows that if felix chooses right and janet chooses right, felix will receive a payoff of 7 and janet will receive a payoff of 4.

janet

left - right

felix - left - 2, 3 - 2, 4

right - 3, 7 - 4, 6

the only dominant strategy in this game is for (janet, felix) to choose (left, right)

the outcome reflecting the unique nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: felix chooses (left, right) and janet chooses (left, right) .
