Plan from the supplied facts
The fictional planner chooses by highest minimum benefit across two possible scenarios, with equal effort for both options. A gives 10 or 2 points; B gives 6 or 6. No probabilities are supplied. This is the owner’s stated robust objective, not a universal selection rule.
| Option | Scenario 1 points | Scenario 2 points | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| B | 6 | 6 | 6 |
| Stated choice | No probabilities | Maximise minimum | B |
Work through the choice
B’s floor of six beats A’s floor of two. A’s higher upside remains visible, but the supplied objective values protection of the minimum.
Can this table also prove B has a higher expected benefit?
Show the worked answer
No. Expected benefit needs probabilities. With scenario1 probability p, A’s expected points are 2+8p, while B’s are six.
Material to use in your plan
Keep scenario outcomes, the minimum per option and the chosen objective together. Use probabilities only when supplied, and distinguish robust choice from expected-value choice.
