Try to estimate the most probable value of D.

More precisely, you take the expected value over your probability distribution for D, i.e. if
$\\textstyle \\sum\_\{D=0\}^\{\+\\infty\}\(f\(A\+B\-C\+D\$
-f(A+D))p(D)) exceeds the cost of pulling the lever then you pull it.

ETA: In case you’re wondering, I used this to display the equation.
