Question: You are given the following payoff table ( in units of thousands of dollars ) for a decision analysis problem: ( a ) Which alternative

You are given the following payoff table (in units of thousands of dollars) for a decision
analysis problem:
(a) Which alternative should be chosen under the maximin payoff criterion (show your work)?
(b) Which alternative should be chosen under the maximum likelihood criterion (show your work)?
(c) Which alternative should be chosen under Bayes decision rule (show your work)?
(d) Using Bayes decision rule, do sensitivity analysis graphically with respect to the prior
probabilities of states S1 and S2(without changing the prior probability of state S3) to determine
the crossover point where the decision shifts from one alternative to the other. Then use algebra
to calculate this crossover point.Alternative S1 S2 S3
