سؤال
In decision-making under risk,the expected monetary payoff of perfect information is the weighted average of the best payoff for each state of nature (using the probability of the state of nature as the weight).
سؤال
Make decisions under risk by constructing decision trees,calculating expected monetary value and expected value of perfect information,and analyzing utility.
سؤال
In a decision-making under uncertainty scenario,the decision maker attempts to develop a strategy based on payoffs since virtually no information is available about which state of nature will occur.
سؤال
In a decision-making under uncertainty scenario,the decision maker chooses the decision alternative that has the minimum expected (i.e. ,probability-weighted)payoff among all the available alternatives.
سؤال
In a decision-making scenario,if the decision maker knows which state of nature will occur,the scenario is called decision-making under certainty.
سؤال
In a decision-making scenario,if it is not known which of the states of nature will occur and further if the probabilities of occurrence of the states are also unknown,the scenario is called decision-making under double risk.
سؤال
The value of perfect information is the difference between the monetary payoff with perfect information and the expected monetary payoff with no information.
سؤال
In a decision analysis problem,variables (such as benefits or rewards that result from investments in common stocks or corporate bonds and from a new product launch)which result from selecting a particular decision alternative are called posterior probabilities.
سؤال
In a decision-making under uncertainty scenario using the strategy of minmax regret,all the entries in the opportunity loss table must be zero or positive.
سؤال
In a decision-making under uncertainty scenario,the best decision alternative based on the strategy of minmax regret will always have zero regret.
سؤال
In a decision-making under risk scenario,the expected monetary value of a decision alternative is the weighted average (using the probability of each state of nature as the weight)of the payoffs to the decision alternative in each state of the nature.
سؤال
Make decisions under uncertainty using the maximax criterion,the maximin criterion,the Hurwicz criterion,and minimax regret.
سؤال
The expected monetary payoff of perfect information is the value of perfect information.
سؤال
In a decision analysis problem,variables (such as general macroeconomic conditions)which are not under the decision maker's control are called prior probabilities.
سؤال
In a decision-making scenario,if it is not known which of the states of nature will occur but the probabilities of occurrence of the states are known.the scenario is called decision-making under risk.
سؤال
Make decisions under certainty by constructing a decision table.
سؤال
In decision-making under risk,the expected monetary value without information is the largest of the expected monetary values for the various decision alternatives.
سؤال
In a decision-making under risk scenario,the expected monetary value of a decision alternative is the arithmetic average of the payoffs to the decision alternative in each state of the nature.
سؤال
In a decision analysis problem,variables (such as investing in common stocks or corporate bonds)which are under the decision maker's control are called decision alternatives.
سؤال
Dan Hein owns the mineral and drilling rights to a 1,000 hectare tract of land.If he drills a well and does not strike oil his net loss will be $50,000,but if he drills a well and strikes oil his net gain will be $100,000.If he does not drill,his loss is the cost of the mineral and drilling rights,which amount to $1000.For Dan's decision problem,the variable "net loss of $50,000" is one of the ___.

Deck 19: Decision Analysis
1
Revise probabilities in light of sample information by using Bayesian analysis and calculating the expected value of sample information.
By using Bayes' theorem,the probabilities associated with the states of nature in decision making under risk can be revised when new information is obtained.This information can be helpful to the decision maker.However,it usually carries a cost.This cost can reduce the payoff of decision making with sample information.The EMV with sample information can be compared with the EMV without it to determine the value of sample information.
2
In decision-making under risk,the expected monetary payoff of perfect information is the weighted average of the best payoff for each state of nature (using the probability of the state of nature as the weight).
True
3
Make decisions under risk by constructing decision trees,calculating expected monetary value and expected value of perfect information,and analyzing utility.
In decision making with risk,the decision maker has some prior knowledge of the probability of each occurrence of each state of nature.With these probabilities,a weighted payoff referred to as expected monetary value (EMV)can be calculated for each decision alternative.A person who makes decisions based on these EMVs is called an EMVer.The EMV is essentially the average payoff that would occur if the decision process were to be played out over a long period of time with the probabilities holding constant.
The expected value of perfect information can be determined by comparing the EMV if the states of nature are known to the EMV with no such information.The difference in the two is the expected value of perfect information.Utility refers to a decision maker's propensity to take risks.People who avoid risks are called risk avoiders.People who are prone to take risks are referred to as risk takers.People who use EMV generally fall between these two categories.Utility curves can be sketched to ascertain or depict a decision maker's tendency toward risk.
4
In a decision-making under uncertainty scenario,the decision maker attempts to develop a strategy based on payoffs since virtually no information is available about which state of nature will occur.
