1.
|
Variables that indicate the distance a target is from the level achieved are
called
a. | goal variables. | b. | target variables. | c. | deviation
variables. | d. | preemptive variables. |
|
|

2.
|
Preemptive priorities in goal programming
a. | show the target values for the problem. | b. | prevent sacrifice of
a goal to satisfy a lower level one. | c. | force the problem to be a standard linear
program. | d. | limit deviations to d-
only. |
|
|
|
3.
|
Deviation variables that occur in the objective function indicate
a. | the targets. | b. | the priorities. | c. | only the areas that
are of concern. | d. | the difference between all actual and target values. |
|

4.
|
A required step in the analytic hierarchy process is to determine
a. | the goals to be satisfied. | b. | the expected value of the
criteria. | c. | the relative importance of a set of features based on a
criterion. | d. | how many hierarchies to use. |
|
|
|
5.
|
Pair-wise comparisons are used to
a. | compare criteria in terms of the overall goal. | b. | compare choices on
each criterion. | c. | both a and b are true. | d. | neither a nor b is
true. |
|
|
|
6.
|
The overall priorities for decision alternatives
a. | are the sum of the products of the criterion priority times the priority of the
decision alternative with respect to that criterion. | b. | sum to 1. | c. | indicate what choice
is preferred, but do not force that choice to be made. | d. | each of the above is
true. |
|
|
|
7.
|
The steps of the scoring model include all of the following EXCEPT:
a. | list the decision-making criteria and assign a weight to each. | b. | develop a pair-wise
comparison matrix for each criterion. | c. | rate how well each decision alternative
satisfies each criterion. | d. | compute the total score for each decision
alternative. |
|
|
|
8.
|
Goal programming with preemptive priorities never permits trade-offs
between
a. | goals with the same priority level and the same weights. | b. | goals with different
priority levels. | c. | goals with the same priority level and different weights. | d. | any
goals. |
|
|
|
9.
|
Inconsistency in the pair-wise judgments is indicated by a consistency ratio
that is
a. | less than zero | b. | greater than 0.10 | c. | greater than
0.50 | d. | greater than 1.00 |
|
|
|
10.
|
Computing the consistency ratio for a criterion's pair-wise comparison
matrix is the next step after
a. | developing the criterion's pair-wise comparison matrix. | b. | converting the
criterion's pair-wise comparison matrix to a normalized matrix. | c. | developing the
criterion's priority vector. | d. | developing the overall priority
vector. |
