Question:
For the data from Problem 14-15, apply the additive weighting technique, using weights you develop, to make a travel decision.
Data from Problem 14-15:
When traveling, one always has a choice of airlines. However, which should you choose? Many attributes are worthy of consideration, some of which are cost, airline miles, number of hops (intermediate stops between departure and final destination), and type of airplane (some people just do not like those small planes). Some people like more hops because each brings them more points in their frequent flyer program. Others want to minimize hops. On a particular trip, you have gathered data about the possible travel alternatives, and they are listed in Table P14-15. Use four noncompensatory methods for dealing with multiple attributes (dominance, satisficing, disjunctive resolution, and lexicography) and determine whether a selection can be made, or alternatives eliminated, with each. You will need to develop additional data that reflect your preferences.
