Cost vs. Benefit • Before making a decision, weigh the cost vs. benefit. • In the story, Country Mouse thinks about what he likes (the benefits), and then he thinks about what he does not like (the costs), and then he makes a decision to stay or go home. www.hiyah.com/library/country_mouse.html
Choice vs. Chance • Every day we make choices based on the chance that certain events might occur. • We estimate the probability for the event to occur. • Then we examine the consequence of the event and make a decision.
“The Game of Skunk” • The object of “skunk” is to have the most points after 5 rounds. • A player gets the total of the dice and records it in his/her column, unless a “one” comes up. • If a “one” comes up, play is over for that round and all the player’s points in that column are wiped out. • If “double ones” come up, all points accumulated in prior columns are wiped out as well. • If a “one” doesn’t occur, the player may choose either to try for more points on the next roll or to stop and keep what he/she has accumulated.
