To find Player 2's mixing probability , you must choose so that Player 1 is indifferent between their pure strategies, Right (R) and Left (L). This involves computing Player 1's expected payoff from each pure row strategy under Player 2's mixture, setting those two expected payoffs equal to each other, and solving the resulting linear equation for .
Conditions: Player 2 mixes between R and L with probabilities and .; The target player (Player 1) must be made indifferent between the pure strategies being mixed.; The solution for should lie in to represent a valid mixed strategy.
