Question

Consider the following profit payoff table and probability assessments:

    States of Nature      
Decision Alternative s1 s2 s3 s4      
d1 14 9 10 5   P(s1)= 0.5
d2 11 10 8 7   P(s2)= 0.2
d3 9 10 10 11   P(s3)= 0.2
d4 8 10 11 13   P(s4)= 0.1

a. Use the expected value approach to determine the optimal solution.

b. If the entries in the payoff table are costs, determine the optimal decision using the expected value approach.
