1. Paraphrasing activity:
Quote from source: “The transition to electrification of vehicles
will probably be gradual, for three primary reasons: consumer
caution when it comes to large purchases, the high initial cost
of manufacturing electric vehicles, and pushback from vested
interests. There will be special circumstances, such as in
Norway, where rapid transitions are possible. But in places such
as the United States, where the automotive market is large and
diverse, and many players are involved—including the
thousands of cities and states that impose rules and offer
incentives—the pace will be slower. Cost reductions will take
time. Gasoline cars have benefited from a century of intensive
development, while electric cars have been the focus of major
manufacturers on a commercial scale only since about 2010.”
Paraphrase: The shift from traditional vehicles to EVs (electric
vehicles) was rapid in Norway, but the same pace is not
expected in the United States, which has a much higher
population, state and local laws to contend with, and a large and
diverse auto industry. In addition, consumers are often hesitant
about large purchases. This hesitance, along with the high costs
for EV production, and pressure from oppositional groups, will
slow the transition. While the cost of EV production will
eventually decrease, this will take time; in comparison to gas-
powered cars’ long history, EVs have only been widely

Chapter 4 Assignment
Decision Tree Assignment
Play now? Play later?
You can become a millionaire! That's what the junk mail said.
But then there was the fine print:
If you send in your entry before midnight tonight, then here are
your chances:
0.1% that you win $1,000,000

26. 75% that you win nothing
Otherwise, you must PAY $1,000
But wait, there's more! If you don't win the million AND you
don't have to pay on your first attempt,
then you can choose to play one more time. If you choose to
play again, then here are your chances:
2% that you win $100,000
20% that you win $500
Otherwise, you must PAY $2,000
What is your expected outcome for attempting this venture?
Solve this problem using
a decision tree and clearly show all calculations and the
expected monetary value at each node.
Use maximization of expected value as your decision criterion.
Answer these questions:

27. 1) Should you play at all? (5%) If you play, what is your
expected (net) monetary value? (15%)
2) If you play and don't win at all on the first try (but don't lose
money), should you try again? (5%) Why? (10%)
3) Clearly show the decision tree (40%) and expected net
monetary value at each node (25%)
