Philosophy & Belief

You have two choices: job A and job B. Considering how much you'll enjoy the job, how much money you'll make, and how much you'll improve the world—indeed, everything you care about—you consider various outcomes for each job. If you take job A, there's a 20% chance that things will go well. If you take job B, there's a 60% chance that things will go well. The outcome where things go well with job A has twice as much utility as the outcome where things go well with job B, which in turn has twice as much utility as things not going well (in either job). Which job has greater expected utility, and by how much? (Remember that you can use the arbitrary measurement of utils to work this out—just keep the proportions as specified.)

A. They have the same expected utility B. Job B has twice as much utility as Job A C. Job B has more utility than Job A but less than twice as much D. Job A has slightly more utility than Job B.
