Question 45

Essay

A payoff table, the prior probabilities for three states of nature and the likelihood probabilities are shown below.
Payoff Table:  Alternative  State of Nature a1a2a3s1s2s3801209060130170200140100\begin{array}{ll}&\text { Alternative }\\\text { State of Nature }&\quad a_1\quad\quad a_2\quad\quad a_3\\\begin{array}{ll}s_1\\s_2\\s_3\end{array}&\begin{array}{|lll|}\hline80\quad&120\quad&90\quad \\60&130&170\\200&140&100\\\hline\end{array}\end{array}
Prior Probabilities:
P( s1s _ { 1 } ) = 0.4, P( S2S _ { 2 } ) = 0.5, P( S3S _ { 3 } ) = 0.1.
