Exercise:

As chief engineer for your municipal water supply agency, you need to replace the motors that power your water pumps. A set of used motors are available from another city at a cost of $10,000.  Experience has shown that a used motor is good only 20% of the time. But the city that is offering to sell you their used motors has also offered to test those motors for you, although they admit their motor-testing apparatus is not very reliable. 70% of the time it tests good motors as good and 40% of the time it tests bad motors as good. Your only other alternative is to buy new motors for $45,000. Use a decision tree to compare the expected cost of the used motors to that of the new motors.

Working individually, obtain copies of job descriptions for either professors or other employees at the university where you study, or of other employees at the organization where you work.
