Three decision makers have assessed utilities for the following decision problem

Three decision makers have assessed utilities for the following decision problem (payoff in dollars):

State of Nature

Decision Alternative

s2

s3

d1

20

50

-20

d2

80

100

-100

The indifference probabilities are as follows:

If P(s1) = 0.25, P(s2) = 0.50, and P(s3) = 0.25, find a recommended decision for each of the three decision makers. (Note: For the same decision problem, different utilities can lead to different decisions.)

Decision Maker A:

Decision Maker B:

Decision Maker C:

Hint
Statistics"To determine the recommended decision for each decision maker, we need to calculate the expected utility for each decision alternative and choose the alternative with the highest expected utility.For Decision Maker A:EU(d1) = 0.25(20) + 0.50(50) + 0.25(-20) = 22.5EU(d2) = 0.25(80) + 0.50(100) + 0.25(-100) = 40Since EU(d2) > EU(d1), Decision Maker A should choose d2.For Decision Maker...
