The college suspects their star player James Strongarm has used an illegal performance-enhancing drug. Currently, the probability that James is a drug user is 0.37. They consider barring him from athletics. The “monetary” values of the outcomes are difficult to assess in this case. Therefore, instead of expressing the payoffs as money, we will use just numbers with unknown unit. The following are the payoffs for the potential outcomes: Correctly identifying a drug user and barring this person from athletics: 40 Falsely accusing a nonuser and barring this person from athletics: -60 Not identifying a drug user and allowing this person to participate in athletics: -30 Not barring a nonuser: 0 Before they make the decision, they can ask for a drug test, which costs -1 per single athlete . In the drug testing, assume there are two possible test results: positive and negative. For a drug user, the probabilities of these outcomes are 0.95 and 0.05, respectively. For a nonuser, they are 0.01 and 0.99, respectively. Assume that 2% of all college athletes are drug users. What is the best decision alternative? Question 5 options:

B) Forgo the test and do not bar him.
