150, or 200 tires.
Based on its historical demand distribution, assume that AAA Inc. has determined the following
probability information: P(100) = 0.4, P(150) = 0.3, and P(200) = 0.3.
a. Which alternative should be chosen based on the maximax criterion?
b. Which alternative should be chosen based on the maximin criterion?
c. Which alternative should be chosen based on the Lapalce criterion?
d. Which alternative should be chosen based on criterion of realism with alpha = 0.7?
e. Which alternative should be chosen based on the minimax regret criterion?
f. Which alternative should be chosen using the expected monetary value (EMV) criterion?
g. What is the expected value under perfect information (EVPI)?
