Hale's decision alternatives and profits in thousands of dollars) are as follows: State of Nature Decision Alternative Produce pilot, di Sell to competitor, d2 Reject, Si 1 Year, S2 2 Years, S3 - 150 50 450 250 250 250 The probabilities for the states of nature are P(S1) = 0.20, P(S2) = 0.30, and P(S3) = 0.50. For a consulting fee of $35,000, an agency will review the plans for the comedy series and indicate the overall chances of a favorable network reaction to the series. Assume that the agency review will result in a favorable (F) or an unfavorable (U) review and that the following probabilities are relevant: P(F) = 0.63 P(STF) = 0.05 P(S110) = 0.42 PU) = 0.37 P(S21F) = 0.28 P(S2|U) = 0.32 P(S3F) = 0.67 P(S3U) = 0.26 a.
