Market Condition
Three Different Designs Are Being Considered for a New

question 72

Short Answer

Market Condition
Three different designs are being considered for a new refrigerator,and profits will depend on the combination of the refrigerator design and market condition.The following payoff table summarizes the decision situation,with amounts in millions of dollars. $$\begin{array}{l}\text { Market Condition }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Design } & \text { I } & \text { II } & \text { III } \\\hline \mathrm { A } & 27 & 16 & 8 \\\mathrm {~B} & 17 & 18 & 20 \\\mathrm { C } & 7 & 12 & 42 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Assume that the probabilities for the three market conditions are estimated as 0.1,0.6,and 0.3,respectively.Determine the expected payoff value that would be realized if perfect information were available.
