Oh this is a bit difficult to explain without a white board! Ok so basically at the beginning you're going to have 2 branches, the left hand one with 3/10 along side it and 'T' written at the bottom representing the 3 Ts out of 10 letters and the right hand one with 7/10 written alongside and representing the probability of picking any of the other letters and 'not T' at the bottom of the branch. Then underneath the 3/10 branch you'll have another 2 branches, the left hand one you will label 2/9 representing the probability of picking a T now that you've already picked one T and only have 9 letters left and you'll write 'T' at the bottom of the branch. The other branch will be labeled 7/9 and have a 'not T' at the bottom of the branch. Underneath the 7/10 you'll have a left hand branch labeled 3/9 with a 'T' at the bottom other branch labeled 6/9 with 'not T' written at the bottom. You should finish with a tree with 4 'leaves'.

Probability that it will rain is 1/3. Probability that it will rain, given that the tree-frogs are quiet is 36%. Probability that the tree-frogs will be quiet given that it is raining is 60%.

What is the probability that the tree-frogs will not be quiet?

Jim Sellers is thinking about producing a new type of electric razor for men. If the market were favorable he would get a return of $100,000, but if the market for this new type of razorwere unfavorable, he would lose$ 60,000. Since Ron Bush is a good friend of Jim Sellers, Jim is considering the possibility of using Bush Marketing Research to gather additional information about the market for the razor. Ron has suggested that Jimeither use a survey or a pilot study to test the market. The survey would be a sophisticated questionnaire administered to a test market. It will cost $5,000. Another alternative is to run a pilot study. This would involve producing a limited number of the new razors and tying to sell them in two cities that are typical of American cities. The pilot study is more accurate e but is also more expensive. It will cost$ 20,000. Ron Bush has suggested that it would be a good idea for Jim to conduct either the survey or the pilot before Jim makes the decision concerning whether to produce the new razor. ButJim is not sure if the value of the survey or the pilot is worththe cost. Jim estimates that the probability of a successful market without performing a survey or pilot study is0.5. Furthermore, the probability of a favorable survey result given a favorable market for razors is 0.7, and the probability of a favorable survey result given an unsuccessful market for razors is 0.2. In addition, the probability of an unfavorable pilot study given an unfavorable market is 0.9, and the probability of ann unsuccessful pilot study result given a favorable market for razors is 0.2.

Draw the decision tree for this problem without the probability values. Computer the revised probabilities needed to complete the decision, and place these values in the decision tree. What is the best decision for Jim? Use Expected MonetaryValue (EMV) as the decision criterion.
