Decision Tree
Definition
A decision tree is a graphical representation of different possible
decisions, their associated probabilities, and the expected outcomes. It is
commonly used in decision-making processes to evaluate various
alternatives and their potential risks and rewards.

Expected values
A (2/3 X 13.5M) + (1/3 X 6.5M) = 11.17M 11.17-4=7.17M Expensive
B (2/3 X 8.5) + (1/3X 4M) =7M 7-2=5M Cheap
C (0.91 X 13.5)+ (0.09 X 6.5M) =12.87M
D (0.91 X 8.5) + (0.09 X 4M) =8.095M
E (0.13 X 8.5)+ (0.87 X 4M) =4.585M
F 12.87-4=(8.87 X (0.32 X 5) =7.631M 7.6316M- Market Research
0.68)= 6.0316+ 0.2=7.4316

SIMULATION
Simulation is the process of creating a model or representation of a real-
world system, process, or environment to analyze its behavior under
different conditions. It allows for experimentation and testing without
directly affecting the actual system.
