A farmer has 3 decision options. There is a possible storm coming which could freeze his produce.
The probability of a freeze is 0.2 and the probability of non freeze is 0.8. He could take 3 actions; full
protection, light protection, and no protection. Full protection would cost him 20000 dollars, light

the event of a freeze 25000 dollars worth of produce would be ruined. If he picks no protection 100000
dollars worth of produce would be ruined.
