chance having 160 hp (the most preferred level)
and 30 mpg (also the most preferred level) and a 50
percent chance of having 80 hp and 16 mpg (the
least preferred levels). In other words, it's an all or
nothing gamble, either the most preferred level on
both measures or the least preferred levels, both
with an equal chance of occurring. Call this
alternative A. Now suppose a second truck is the
same as the first but has a 50 percent chance of
having 160 hp and 16 mpg and a 50 percent chance
of having 80 hp and 30 mpg. It's still uncertain.
You're guaranteed to get either good horsepower
or good gas mileage, but not both. Call this
alternative B. I know these are complicated so I've
drawn them in Figure 9-16. Which of A or B
would you prefer?
