Management at Washington Hospital Center is thinking about two investments. One is an MRI machine, which can make $ 100,000 in good economic conditions or $ 60,000 in bad economic conditions. Another is a CT scanner, which can make $ 150,000 in good economic conditions or $ 10,000 in bad economic conditions. Thus the decision depends on the economic conditions. What is the probability of good economic conditions that equates the two investments?
a. Develop a payoff table for this situation.
b. Find the following: 1. Maximax 2. Maximin 3. Equal likelihood 4. Minimax regret
c. Create a sensitivity graph comparing the different alternatives as the probability of economic conditions changes.
