i.        By using the Maximin rule Highest minimum = £ 4000

Select investment C

ii.      By using the Maximax rule Highest maximum = £ 10000

Select investment B

Select the minimum of the maximum regret that is £3000

Select investment A

iv.     Hurwicz rule: expected values

For A (7000 x 0.3) + (3000 x 0.7) = 2100 + 2100 = £4200

For B (10000 x 0.3) + (-2000 x 0.7) = 3000 + 1400 = £ 1600

For C (4000 x 0.3) + (4000 x 0.7) = 1200 + 2800 = £ 4000

Best outcome is £ 4200 select investment A
