One of the most important fact of Mixed-Strategy Nash Equilibrium is that it is about possibility

Sometimes a game could not have Pure-Strategy Nash Equilibrium, but it is always possible to get MSNE in a well-defined game (from lecture note by Professor Sun)


And during the class, we have a very interesting but complicated example see here: Complicated NE question

Also noted that the number of Mixed-Strategy Nash Equilibrium is always odd-number

Example

In this case:

HeadsTails
Heads1,-1-1,1
Tails-1,11,-1

We found that there is no such Pure-Strategy Nash Equilibrium . So we assume the player randomly chooses heads or tails, so the probability would be 1/2 heads and 1/2 tails.

Simple Conclusion

The Mixed-Strategy Nash Equilibrium is always come with the probability.
