Diane Richards has three major routes to take to work. She can
take Tennessee Street the entire way, she can take several back
streets to work, or she can use the expressway. The traffic
patterns are very complex, however. Under good conditions,
Tennessee Street is the fastest route. When Tennessee is
congested, one of the other routes is usually preferable. Over
the past two months, Diane has tried each route several times
under different traffic conditions. This information is
summarized in minutes of travel time to work in the following
table:
NO TRAFFIC

(minutes)
MILD TRAFFIC

In the past 60 days, Diane encountered severe traffic congestion
10 days and mild traffic congestion 20 days. Assume that the
last 60 days are typical of traffic conditions.
(a) Develop a decision table for this decision.
(b) What route should Diane take if she wants to minimize
average drive time?
(c) Diane is about to buy a radio for her car that would tell her
the exact traffic conditions before she started to work each
morning. How much time in minutes on the average would
Diane save by buying the radio?
