Multiple Choice

Which equation represents the way complex, multicomponent decisions would be made according to utility theory?

• A) Expected value = [(probability of outcome 1)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 1)]\(\times\)
• [(probability of outcome 2)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 2)]
• B) Expected value = [(probability of outcome 1)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 1)] +
• [(probability of outcome 2)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 2)]
• C) Expected value = [(probability of outcome 1)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 1)] -
• [(probability of outcome 2)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 2)]
• D) Expected value = [(probability of outcome 1)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 1)] ÷
• [(probability of outcome 2)\(\times\) (utility of outcome 2)]
