Mixed strategies

Mixed strategies refer to a decision-making approach where an individual or group chooses among different options with certain probabilities, rather than sticking to one specific choice. In games or competitive situations, it means randomizing your strategy to keep others uncertain about your next move. For example, in a game of rock-paper-scissors, instead of always choosing "rock," you might choose each option randomly, making it harder for your opponent to predict your actions. This approach can lead to more unpredictable outcomes and can be advantageous in strategic situations.
