This document appears to be a quiz for a course on decision making. It contains multiple choice questions about key concepts in decision analysis, including states of nature, payoff tables, criteria for evaluating decisions like maximax, maximin, and Hurwicz. The questions cover topics like opportunity loss, regret, dominance, and the equal likelihood criterion for weighting payoffs when state probabilities are unknown.

Question 2 A payoff table is a means of orani!in a decision situation" includin the payoffs from different decisions i#en the #arious states of nature.
Question $ The ma%imin criterion results in the ma%imum of the minimum payoffs.
Question & A state of nature is an actual e#ent that may occur in the future.
Question ' The (((((((((((((( minimi!es the ma%imum reret. Question ) The ma%imin criterion results in the Question * A dominant decision is one that has better payoff than another decision under each state of nature. Question + The ma%imin approach to decision makin refers to Question , The ma%ima% criterion results in the ma%imum of the minimum payoffs.
Question 1- .eterminin the /orst payoff for each alternati#e and choosin the alternati#e /ith the best /orst is called Question 11 The Hur/ic! criterion is a compromise Question 12 The ma%ima% criterion results in the Question 1$ 0eret is the difference bet/een the payoff from the best decision and all other decision payoffs. Question 1& 0eret is the difference bet/een the payoff from the Question 1' The minima% reret criterion Question 1) The Hur/ic! criterion is a compromise bet/een the ma%ima% and ma%imin criteria. Question 1* The term opportunity loss is most closely related to Question 1+ The e1ual likelihood criterion multiplies the decision payoff for each state of nature by an e1ual /eiht. Question 1, The basic decision en#ironment cateories are Question 2- 2%pected opportunity loss is the e%pected #alue of the reret for each decision.
