  • Given the data in Payoff Table #1, answer the following:
  • Construct a decision tree for this problem.
  • If the you know nothing about the probabilities of the three states of nature, what is the recommended decision using the optimistic, conservative and minimax regret approaches?
  • Interpret the findings.Is there a clear alternative?

  • Given the data in Payoff Table #1, you have learned the probabilities for the three states of nature are P(s1) = .65, P(s2) = .15 and P(s3) = .20.
  • Construct the new decision tree with the probabilities.
  • What is the expected value of each alternative result?
  • What is the decision you would make?
  • Calculate the expected value of perfect information.
  • Comment on the results compared to the information from problem #1.

  • Given the data in Payoff Table number #1, you need to test the sensitivity of your results.To this you adjust the probabilities from problem #2 to the following.
  • P(s1) = .60, P(s2) = .15 and P(s3) = .25.
  • P(s1) = .70, P(s2) = .20 and P(s3) = .10.
  • P(s1) = .65, P(s2) = .20 and P(s3) = .15
  • P(s1) = .65, P(s2) = .10 and P(s3) = .25

Recalculate the expected values for each alternative.Does this change the results of your original decision?Explain your answers.

plzzz give explanation too in language.....Thank you
