Decisiоn Tree Prоblem (Pаrt 2 оf 2): An entrepreneuriаl fаmily wants to start up a shaved ice business as a summer job for their teenage children. They must decide which of three setups would be best. They can open a small shack at a low rent location, a larger shack at a prime location, or a mobile food truck that can move around the city. The family is not sure what the demand level will be for shaved ice in this town. As their best estimate, they believe that with low demand, the small shack would make a profit of $10,000, and with high demand would make $15,000. With low demand, the large shack would make a profit of only $5,000, but with high demand would make $25,000. A mobile food truck would make a profit of $35,000 with high demand, but would lose $10,000 with low demand. Construct a decision tree, given that they estimate that there is a 40% chance that the town will have high demand for their shaved ice. Based upon expected values, which type of shaved ice setup should be selected?
