A farmer wants to decide which of the three crops he should plant on his 100-acre farm. The profit from each is dependent on the rainfall during the growing seasons. The farmer has categorized the amount of rainfall as high, medium, low. His estimated profit for each is shown in the table. If the farmer wishes to plant only one crop, decide which will be his choice using the EMV rule, prove your judgement by comparing the EMV of each crop. (Indicate the EMV in each crop, comparison and the right choice).
