English term or phrase: They ignore the fact that at least one other result is possible
No me queda muy clara la idea en esta frase.

•Average rule (Laplace rule): The decision rules above can be criticised for not taking all the information that is available into consideration. They ignore the fact that at least one other result (between the best and the worst) is possible. Therefore, this rules suggests calculating the average of the possible results for each alternative and to choosing the one with the highest average. This would be (225 + 200 + 25) : 3 = 150.0 for alternative 1 and (175 + 140 + 100) : 3 = 138.3 for alternative 2, so that alternative 1 would be chosen.
