Abstract
A version of a minority game was studied in which one agent is allowed to join the game by random participation. The success rate of a number of randomly participating agents (RPA) in a population competing for limited resources was considered. It was shown that for small values of the memory size m of the agents in the population, the agent performs significantly well if she decides to participate the game randomly with a probability q. The results show that the winning edge of the agents persists for a finite fraction of randomly participating agents up to 60% of the population.
