Short Answer

State of Nature
The following table displays the payoffs (in thousands of dollars)for five different decision alternatives under three possible states of nature: $$\begin{array}{l}\text { State of Nature }\\\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline \text { Alternative } & \begin{array} { c } \text { I } \\\text { Prob. } = \mathbf { 0 . 2 }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { II } \\\text { Prob. } = \mathbf { 0 . 3 }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { III } \\\text { Prob. } = \mathbf { 0 . 5 }\end{array} \\\hline \text { A } & \$ 110 & \$ 80 & - \$ 20 \\\text { B } & \$ 90 & \$ 85 & \$ 10 \\\text { C } & \$ 45 & \$ 65 & \$ 45 \\\text { D } & \$ 30 & \$ 60 & \$ 65 \\\text { E } & \$ 10 & \$ 25 & \$ 70 \\\hline\end{array}\end{array}$$
-Based on the expected opportunity loss criterion,what is the best decision alternative?
