b. Write the best decision using the pessimistic Maximin Rule. |
b)
from given data:
Hi Growth | Med Growth | Low Growth | No Growth | minimum | |
Bonds | 9 | 10 | -1 | 2 | -1 |
Stocks | 15 | 9 | 5 | -4 | -4 |
Deposits | 6 | 6 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
since maximum of minimum growth rate is under decision: Deposits
therefore one should choose, Deposits decision under pessimistic Maximin Rule
