Minimax and decision tree payoff questions

Reference no: EM13130560

I have 3 individual questions related to a class lecture that we had on Payoff Alternatives and Regret. These questions should be VERY simple, and probably take less than 2 minutes to answer... so I believe that one (1) credit is reasonable for the quick answers...

1. Is it true that the payoff at the end of a decision tree represents everything along the path leading to that end?

2. Are the several potential outcomes resulting from a decision called "decision alternatives", or are they called "states" ?

3. For a given event, if the payoffs for alternatives 1, 2, and 3 (the only alternatives) are 50, 125, and -50 respectively, what is the regret associated with alternative 1?
