Uncertainty Hence a purely logical approach either: ~risk falsehood(错误风险)：“A2 5 will get me there on time", or leads to conclusions that are too weak for decision making: "A25 will get me there on time if there's no accident on the bridge and it doesn't rain and my tires remain intact etc etc." (A1440 might reasonably be said to get me there on time but I'd have to stay overnight in the airport) 口卡回t·三4色，是分Q0

Making decisions under uncertainty Suppose I believe the following: P(A25 gets me there on time)=0.04 P(Ago gets me there on time)=0.70 P(A120 gets me there on time)=0.95 P(A1440 gets me there on time)=0.9999 Which action to choose? 一Depends on my preferences(偏好)for missing flight vs.time spent waiting,etc. Utility theory(效用理论)is used to represent and infer preferences.
