Problem 14-17 (Algorithmic)

Dan Joseph was considering entering one of two graduate schools of business to pursue studies for an MBA degree. When asked how he compared the two schools with respect to reputation, he responded that he preferred school A nine times stronger than school B.

1. Set up the pairwise comparison matrix for this problem. If necessary, enter the numbers as a simple fraction.

   Reputation	School A	School B
   School A
   School B

2. Determine the priorities for the two schools relative to this criterion. If necessary, enter the numbers as a simple fraction. Step 1: Sum the values in each column. Column totals are: , and Step 2: Divide each element of the matrix by its column total.

   Reputation	School A	School B
   School A
   School B

   Step 3: Average the elements in each row to determine the priority of each criterion. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

   Reputation	School A	School B	Row Average
   School A	fill in the blank 11	fill in the blank 12	fill in the blank 13
   School B	fill in the blank 14	fill in the blank 15	fill in the blank 16

When asked how he compared the two schools with respect to reputation, he responded that he preferred school A nine times stronger than school B. a. Set up the pairwise comparison matrix for this problem. If necessary, enter the numbers as a simple fraction. Reputation School A Column totals are: School B Step 1: Sum the values in each column. b. Determine the priorities for the two schools relative to this criterion. If necessary, enter the numbers as a simple fraction. and Step 2: Divide each element of the matrix by its column total. Reputation School A School A School B School B School A || School B b. Determine the priorities for the two schools relative to this criterion. If necessary, enter the numbers as a simple fraction. Step 1: Sum the values in each column. Column totals are: and Step 2: Divide each element of the matrix by its column total. Reputation School A School A School B Reputation School B Step 3: Average the elements in each row to determine the priority of each criterion. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
