Dwight Moody is the manager of a large farm with 1,000 acres of arable land. For greater efficiency, Dwight always devotes the farm to growing one crop at a time. He now needs to make a decision on which one of four crops to grow during the upcoming growing season. For each of these crops, Dwight has obtained the following estimates of crop yields and net incomes per bushel under various weather conditions. Expected Yield, Bushels/Acre Weather Crop 1 Crop 2 Crop 3 Crop 4 Dry 20 15 30 40 Moderate 35 20 25 Damp 40 30 25 40 Net income per bushel $1.00 $1.50 $1.00 $0.50 Dry Moderate Damp 888 After referring to historical meteorological records, Dwight also estimated the following prior probabilities for the weather during the growing season: 0.3 0.5 0.2 40

2. The following exercises are based on a study by Scholer et el. (1997). This was a nested case-control study obtained from a cohort of children age 0 through 4 years in Tennessee between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 1995. Case patients consist of all cohort members who suffered injury deaths. Control patients were frequency matched to case patients by birth year.
