EVSI: expected value from test – expected value from no test: $7,176 – $0 = $7,176
EVPI: If a company can provide perfect information the information can be:
a) A person has disease, then the best decision is not to admit, it will cost $0 and has
b) A person does not have disease, then the best decision is to admit, it will benefit

Report to manager:
Considering all the given information, the best decision is to test the immigrants and will

If the test is negative then the best decision is to admit. If you decide to admit them,

The Expected Value of Sample Information is $7,176, which shows the cost limit that
we’re willing to spend to do the test. Since the test cost is $100, so we are safe to do the
test. The Expected Value of Perfect information is $9,000 which means the maximum that
