Logical Thinking and Decision Making 

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers. 

 

Welcome to Week 3 Discussion! This week we’re talking about decision making. For the situation described below, determine if it involves a decision under certainty or not. Please make sure to explain your reasoning as well. How do you think Tyrell should make this decision?

Tyrell has a new job and has to decide between two medical insurance plans. If he chooses the first plan, the employer pays for the full cost of insurance, but Tyrell will have a copayment of $20 for every visit to the doctor’s office and a copayment of $50 for each emergency room visit. If he chooses plan B, then he will need to pay $100 per month, but will have no copayment when he visits a doctor or the emergency room.

In your two replies, please explain if you agree or disagree with your classmate’s analysis of the situation. Please make sure to provide strong reasoning to support your point.
