A Payoff Table, the Prior Probabilities for Two States of Nature

Question 8

Essay

A payoff table, the prior probabilities for two states of nature, and the likelihood probabilities are shown below.
Payoff Table:  Alternative  State of Nature a1a2a3s1202833s2322925\begin{array} { ccc }&\text { Alternative }\\\text { State of Nature }& a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3}\\s_{1} & 20 & 28 & 33 \\s_{2} & 32 & 29 & 25\end{array}
Prior Probabilities:
P( S1S _ { 1 } ) = 0.4, P( S2S _ { 2 } ) = 0.6.
Likelihood Probabilities: I1I2s10.950.05s20.080.92\begin{array}{ccc} & I_{1} & I_{2} \\s_{1} & 0.95 & 0.05 \\s_{2} & 0.08 & 0.92\end{array} a. Determine the EMV decision.
b. Set up the opportunity loss table.
c. Determine the EOL decision.
d. What is the expected payoff with perfect information?
