Jill rank-ordered 10 attributes in increasing impor­tance and identified them as A, B, …, J, with a value of 1 assigned to A, 2 to B, etc. (a) What is the sum of the scores? (b) What is the weight for at­tribute D? (c) Answer the two questions above if Jill decides that attribute D has the same impor­tance as J, but all other scores stay the same.

What will be an ideal response?


(a) S = 1 + 2 + 3 +… + 10
= n(n+1)/2
= 10(11)/2
= 55

(b) WD = 4/55 = 0.073

(c) S = 1 + 2 + 3 + 10 + 5 + … + 10
= 61

WD = 10/61 = 0.164
