Dwight Moody is the manager of a large farm with 1,000 acres of arable land. For greater efficiency, Dwight always devotes the farm to growing one crop at a time. He now needs to make a decision on which one of four crops to grow during the upcoming
growing season. For each of these crops, Dwight has obtained the following estimates of crop yields and net incomes per bushel under various weather conditions.
Weather Crop 1 Crop 2 Crop 3 Crop 4
Dry 20 15 30 40
Moderate 35 20 25 40
Damp 40 30 25 40
Net income/bushel $1.00 $1.50 $1.00 $0.50
After referring to historical meteorological records, Dwight also estimated the following probabilities for the weather during the growing season:
Dry 0.3
Moderate 0.5
Damp 0.2
