Below is a payoff table involving three states of nature and three decision alternatives. Decision States of Nature Alternative s1 s2 s3 A –20 10 15 B 16 –5 8 C 15 25 –10 The probability of occurrence of s1 is .2, and the probability of occurrence of s2 is .3. The expected value of alternative C is _____.

Step 1
The expected value of a decision alternative is calculated by multiplying the payoff of each state of nature by the probability of that state occurring, and then summing these products for all states of nature. Show more…

The following payoff table shows profit for a decision analysis problem with two decision alternatives and three states of nature. Decision Alternative States of Nature s1 s2 s3 d1 270 120 45 d2 120 120 95 Suppose that the decision maker obtained the probabilities P(s1) = 0.65, P(s2) = 0.15, and P(s3) = 0.20. Use the expected value approach to determine the optimal decision. EV(d1)= (need answer here) EV(d2)= (need answer here) The optimal decision is ? (d₁( or (d₂) .
