5. A professor of political science wants to predict the outcome of a school board election.

Three candidates, Ivy (I), Bahrn (8), and Smith (5) are running for one position. The professor places the voters into three categories: left (L), center (C), and right (R). The candidates are judged based on three factors: educational experience (E), stand on issues

(5), and personal character (P). The following are the comparison matrices for the first hierarchy of left, center, and right.
