Q480. Which is true for Decision theory?

  • a) Decision Theory = Probability theory + utility theory
  • b) Decision Theory = Inference theory + utility theory
  • c) Decision Theory = Uncertainty + utility theory
  • d) Decision Theory = Probability theory + preference

✅ Correct Answer: C) Decision Theory = Uncertainty + utility theory

Explanation: The Wumpus world is a grid of squares surrounded by walls, where each square can contain agents and objects. The agent (you) always starts in the lower left corner, a square that will be labeled [1, 1]. The agent’s task is to find the gold, return to [1, 1] and climb out of the cave. So uncertainty is there as the agent gives partial and local information only. Global variable are not goal specific problem solving.
