Times, Rating No Rating Decision Making Under
Uncertainty. To save on gasoline expenses, Edith
and Mathew agreed to carpool together for
traveling to and from work. Edith preferred to
travel on I-20 highway as it was usually the
fastest, taking 25 minutes in the absence of
traffic delays. Mathew pointed out that traffic
jams on the highway can lead to long delays
making the trip 45 minutes. He preferred to
travel along Shea Boulevard, which was longer (35
minutes), but rarely had traffic jams. Edith
agreed that in case of traffic jams, Shea
Boulevard was a reasonable alternative. Neither
