To find Player 2's mixing probability q, you must choose q 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 q.
Conditions: Player 2 mixes between R and L with probabilities q and 1−q.; The target player (Player 1) must be made indifferent between the pure strategies being mixed.; The solution for q should lie in [0,1] to represent a valid mixed strategy.

To calculate the probability p for Player 1's mixed strategy, you must determine the value of p that makes Player 2 completely indifferent between choosing their pure strategies, Right (R) and Left (L). This is done by computing Player 2's expected payoff for each of their pure strategies as a function of p, setting those two expected payoffs equal to each other, and solving the resulting linear equation for p.
Conditions: The game is a finite normal-form game with a 2x2 payoff matrix.; Player 1 chooses R with probability p and L with probability 1−p.; Player 2's expected payoffs from playing R and L must be calculated using Player 1's mixed strategy.; The solution for p must lie in the interval [0,1] to represent a valid mixed strategy.
