question Refer to the following situation: In the book *Making Hard Decisions: An Introduction to Decision Analysis*, 2nd ed., Robert T. Clemen presents an example in which an investor wishes to choose between investing money in **(1)** a high-risk stock, **(2)** a low-risk stock, or **(3)** a savings account. The payoffs received from the two stocks will depend on the behavior of the stock market-that is, whether the market goes up, stays the same, or goes down over the investment period. In addition, in order to obtain more information about the market behavior that might be anticipated during the investment period, the investor can hire an economist as a consultant who will predict the future market behavior. The results of the consultation will be one of the following three possibilities: **(1)** "economist says up," **(2)** "economist says flat" (the same), or **(3)** "economist says down." The conditional probabilities that express the ability of the economist to accurately forecast market behavior are given in the following table: $$ \begin{array}{lcc} & & \text{\bf{True Market State}} &\\ \text{\bf{Economist's Prediction}} & \text{\bf{Up}} & \text{\bf{Flat}} & \text{\bf{Down}}\\ \text{“Economist says up”} & .80 & .15 & .20 \\ \text{“Economist says flat”} & .10 & .70 & .20 \\ \text{“Economist says down”} & .10 & .15 & .60 \\ \end{array} $$ For instance, using this table we see that $P$ ("economist says up" $\mid$ market up) $=.80$. Figure $18.7$ on the next page gives an incomplete decision tree for the investor's situation. Notice that this decision tree gives all relevant payoffs and also gives the prior probabilities of up, flat, and down, which are, respectively, $0.5,0.3$, and $0.2$. Use the information provided here, and any needed information on the decision tree of the given figure, to complete the following exercises. Carry out a prior analysis of the investor’s decision problem. That is, determine the investment choice that should be made and find the expected monetary value of that choice assuming that the investor does not consult the economist about future stock market behavior.
