Ten noneconomic attributes are identified as A, B, C, ..., J. If they are rank-ordered in terms of decreasing importance with a value of 10 assigned to A, 9 to B, etc., the weighting of attribute B is closest to: (choose one)
(a) 0.24
(b) 0.17
(c) 0.08
(d) 0.04
S = 1 + 2 + 3 +… + 10 = 10(11)/2 = 55
Attributes are ranked in decreasing order of importance; score for attribute B is 9.
WB = 9/55 = 0.1636
Answer is (b) 0.17
