Answer to Question 1

The first statement involves optimization. You believe that you will be best off if you stand regardless of the decisions other people make. The second statement involves equilibrium. If many other people also reason as you did then we should expect many people will decide to stand. The third statement involves empiricism. Our theory tells us that we should expect many people to stand at games. This economist's empirical study supports the theory.

Answer to Question 2

A
