Hale's decision alternatives and profits (in thousands of dollars) are as follows: State of Nature Decision Alternative 1 Year, S2 2 Years, S3 Reject, S1 -100 50 450 Produce pilot, di Sell to competitor, d2 200 200 200 The probabilities for the states of nature are P(S1) = 0.20, P(S2) = 0.30, and P(S3) = 0.50. For a consulting fee of $50,000, an agency will review the plans for the comedy series and indicate the overall chances of a favorable network reaction to the series. Assume that the agency review will result in a favorable (F) or an unfavorable (U) review and that the following probabilities are relevant: P(F) = 0.64 P(S11F) = 0.05 P(S1U) = 0.41 PU) = 0.36 P(S21F) = 0.25 P(S2U) = 0.38 P(S31F) = 0.70 P(S31U) = 0.21 a.
