Part 5: Decision Trees A profit-maximizing firm is considering whether to make an investment of $50,000. If the investment succeeds, the firm will get 100,000 minus the original investment (for a profit of $50,000). If the investment fails, the firm will get $0, for a profit of -$50,000. The probability the investment will succeed is 90%. The firm can buy a test that is equally likely to tell the firm that the probability of success is either 100% or 80% and make a decision based on that test. What is the firm's willingness to pay for this test?

Concept explainers

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

A company offers guided tours of remote areas of the world. Each tour consists of 20 people. The probability of selling a ticket for any given spot on the tour is 0.86. The costs to the company are approximately the same regardless of the number of people that show up. To offset the risk associated with a tour not filling up, the company purchases a specialized insurance policy. The policy pays 100 for each ticket that is left unsold, up to a maximum of 400. Let P be the amount that the insurance policy pays to the company for a specific tour. Calculate E[P] to the nearest dollar. O 251 O244 O 259 O 267 275
