COSTA Café is about to build a new restaurant. An architect has developed three building designs, each with a different seating capacity COSTA estimates that the average number of customers per hour will be 100, 150, or 200 with respective probabilities of0.3, 0.2, and 05. The payoff table showing the profits for the three designs is as follows:        Average Number of Customers Per hour:                             c1 = 100     c2 = 150    c3 = 200        Design A        $10,000     $15,000     $14,000         Design B         $ 8,000     $18,000     $12,000         Design C         $ 6,000     $16,000     $21,000   Calculate the expected value for each decision using the decision tree analysis.

COSTA Café is about to build a new restaurant. An architect has developed three building designs, each with a different seating capacity COSTA estimates that the average number of customers per hour will be 100, 150, or 200 with respective probabilities of0.3, 0.2, and 05. The payoff table showing the profits for the three designs is as follows:  

     Average Number of Customers Per hour:

                            c1 = 100     c2 = 150    c3 = 200

       Design A        $10,000     $15,000     $14,000

        Design B         $ 8,000     $18,000     $12,000

        Design C         $ 6,000     $16,000     $21,000
