Short Answer

TABLE 5-8
Two different designs on a new line of winter jackets for the coming winter are available for your manufacturing plants.

The probability of the three possible different tastes of the consumers and the corresponding profits are presented in the following table.

-Referring to Table 5-8, if your investment preference is to maximize your expected profit and not worry at all about the risk that you have to take, will you choose a production mix that will consist of 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, or 90% of your production lines for Design A and the remaining for Design B?
