Decision S1 S2 S3 S4

D1 14 9 10 5

D2 11 10 8 7

D3 9 10 10 11

D4 8 10 11 13

1. assume costs. What is the decision under conservative approach?

a.

d2,s1 and d3,s4

b.

d1,s2 and d4,s2

c.

d2,s2 and d3,s2

d.

none

Again, assume costs. What is the decision under minimax approach?

a.

d3,s2

b.

d1,s1

c.

d4,s4

d.

d2,s1
