Question

The following profit payoff table shows profit for a decision analysis problem with two decision alternatives and three states of nature: State of Nature Decision Alternative S1 S2 S3 d1 300 175 50 d2 200 175 100 The probabilities for the states of nature are P(s1) = 0.5, P(s2) = 0.3 and P(s3) = 0.2. a. What is the optimal decision strategy if perfect information was available? S1 : d1 S2 : d1 or d2 S3 : d2 b. What is the expected value for the decision strategy developed in part (a)? If required, round your answer to one decimal place. 222.5 c. Using the expected value approach, what is the recommended decision without perfect information? d2 What is its expected value? If required, round your answer to one decimal place. d. What is the expected value of perfect information? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.

          The following profit payoff table shows profit for a decision analysis problem with two decision alternatives and three states of nature:

State of Nature
Decision Alternative S1 S2 S3
d1 300 175 50
d2 200 175 100

The probabilities for the states of nature are P(s1) = 0.5, P(s2) = 0.3 and P(s3) = 0.2.

a. What is the optimal decision strategy if perfect information was available?
S1 : d1
S2 : d1 or d2
S3 : d2

b. What is the expected value for the decision strategy developed in part (a)? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.
222.5

c. Using the expected value approach, what is the recommended decision without perfect information?
d2

What is its expected value? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.

d. What is the expected value of perfect information? If required, round your answer to one decimal place.
