The construction manager for Acme Construction, Inc. must decide whether to build single family homes, apartments, or condominiums. This is not a product-mix problem, but an all-or nothing decision. He will hire workers and rent equipment appropriate for one action only. He estimates annual profits (in thousands of dollars) will vary with population trends as follows:

Dwelling typePopulation steadyPopulation grows slowlyPopulation grows rapidly
Single family$100$90$70
Apartments5017090
Condominiums-20100220

a. If he uses the maximin criterion, which type of dwellings will he choose to build? Show your supporting calculations.
b. If he uses the equally likely criterion, which kind of dwellings will he choose to build? Show your supporting calculations.
c. If the construction manager were an optimist, what criterion would he choose? What would be the choice of dwelling for that criterion? Show your supporting calculations.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
