The influence diagram for this decision is shown to the left. The club has a single decision to make, and that is how many shirts to order. Its main objective is maximizing revenue from shirt sales, an objective that is contingent upon the outcome of two uncertainties: whether the club receives the shirts on time and the fans' demand for the shirts. The arc between the two chance nodes emphasizes that demand is affected by the possibility of delay.
The decision tree offers similar insight, with an additional piece of information: the demand for tickets is continuous in nature. It is worthy to note that this tree as shown to the right is a reduced version of the complete tree, with one decision branch included for brevity. In reality, the club is unsure of how many shirts to order, and the number of branches is determined by the order quantities the club is assessing.
