24、Preferences Toward RisknThe expected utility of the new position is the sum of the utilities associated with all her possible incomes weighted by the probability that each income will occur.Example42Chapter 1Preferences Toward RisknThe expected utility can be written:lE(u)=(1/2)u($10,000)+(1/2)u($30
