Question:
Consider Problem 3. List some considerations that would cause the decision maker not to choose the larger expected value.
Data from problem 3
The financial success of a ski resort in Squaw Valley is dependent on the amount of early snowfall in the fall and winter months. If the snowfall is greater than 40 inches, the resort always has a successful ski season. If the snow is between 30 and 40 inches, the resort has a moderate season, and if the snowfall is less than 30 inches, the season is poor, and the resort will lose money. The seasonal snow probabilities from the weather service are displayed in the following table with the expected revenue for the previous 10 seasons. A hotel chain has offered to lease the resort during the winter for $100,000. You must decide whether to operate yourself or lease the resort. Build a decision tree to assist in the decision.
