Two vaccination schemes are recently adopted in Lebanon, Pfizer and Astrazenica. The profit for each one of these is dependent on the site (clinic or hospital) performing the vaccination process. This is shown in the following payoff table. Ministry of health considering the maximum profit to be able to cover the cost of staff where vaccination process can either be in a small clinics, or medium size hospitals or in main hospitals         Assume the payoffs represent profits. Determine the alternative that would be chosen under each of these decision criteria: Maximin, Maximax, Laplace. In your own opinion, which alternative likely to be excluded and why?   The ministry of health would like to check the possible loss. Find out the minimax regret table and identify the recommended alternative.   Assuming the probability of getting Pfizer is 0.6 and getting Astrazenica is 40%, determine the expected value of perfect information using the regret table.     Compute the EVPI again…
Sarah has a startup business that makes two distinct bird feeders that she has designed. Sarah is planning on operating a small factory to build the bird feeders. She is looking at two possible locations, A and B. If she chooses location A, the lease on the building will be higher than location B, thus leading to higher fixed costs than what she would have with location B. However, if she makes more than 20,000 units, both locations will likely have to be expanded, both the physical buildings and the manufacturing equipment. Variable costs to produce each unit will vary by location as well as by product. For example, the first design will have variable costs of $10 and $15 in locations A and B respectively, while the second bird feeder design will have variable costs of $20 and $25 respectively depending on location. However, she thinks that variable costs will decrease if she sells more than 5,000 units, as she will receive discounts from her suppliers at that point. She is unsure of…
