Consider the following game in extensive form, involving the chance parameter p.
A
P[T] = P
(0,0)
N
U
P[H] = 1-p
h
t
B
h
d
P[T] = P
(-80, 80) (20,-20) (60,-60)
t
(0,0)
n
P[H] = 1-p
(0,0)
Suppose that the strategy profile (u, h) is played and player B receives an expected payoff of 12.
What is the value of p? (Report your answer in decimal form, rounding if necessary to two places.)
