  • In your own words, explain how to obtain the “expected value of perfect information” for any payoff table, which has probabilities associated with each state of nature.
  • Then, provide an example, drawing from any of the payoff tables in Problems 1–19 at the end of Chapter 12.
  • If no probabilities are given for the states of nature, then assume equal likelihood.

Problem 4. Brooke Bentley, a student in business administration, is trying to decide which management science course to take next quarter—I, II, or III. “Steamboat” Fulton, “Death” Ray, and “Sadistic” Scott are the three management science professors who teach the courses. Brooke does not know who will teach what course. Brooke can expect a different grade in each of the courses, depending on who teaches it next quarter, as shown in the following payoff table:
