.5. .2 Solve the following problems based on above payoff table 1.
If a person were to use the expected monetary value criterion
(EMV), what decision would be made? A) Alternative 1 B) Alternative
2 C) Alternative 3 D) Do Nothing 2. If a person selected
Alternative 3, what would the expected profit be? A) 130 B) 120 C)
126 D) 0 3. What is the expected value of perfect information? A)
166 B) 36 C) 130 D) 120 4. What is the minimum expected opportunity
loss (EOL)? A) 36 B) 46 C) 40 D) 166 5. A market research survey is
available for $10,000. Using a decision tree analysis, it is found
that the expected monetary value with no survey is $62,000. If the
expected monetary value with the survey is $45,000, what is the
expected value of sample information (EVSI)? A) $7,000 B) $62,000
C) -$7,000 D) $55,000 6. Draw a complete decision tree (show all
the alternatives, state of nature, probabilities and pay off for
each possible combination) and show the best alternative (what is
your recommendation). 5 points
