Using the above factor ratings, calculate the composite score for each location.
East#1 =
East#2 =
West =

Also, determine which location has the highest composite score.__________

Respuesta :

A spreadsheet or graphing calculator is useful for this.

In matrix terms, the matrix of factor ratings is pre-multiplied by the vector of weights. That is, the numbers in each column (E#1, E#2, W) are multiplied by the number in the weight column and the resulting products are added to form a total for the column.

In the attached, this is done by putting the factor values in 3-element lists, then multiplying and adding the lists as you can see for the expression f₁. The table shows the results, with x₂=1 corresponding to E#1.

The composite scores are ...

East #1: 1486 . . . . . highest

East #2: 1374

West: 1334
