Ranking
In summer we got 5 opportunities (say)
Let us list out the criteria for selecting any one
of these
1. Distance .. IV -- 4
2. Transportation … III -- 3
3. Cost for travel … V -- 5
4. Decent accommodation .. II -- 2
5. Safety … I – 1
Let us select all of these
Total is 15
Now divide each rank by 15 to get probability or weight
    Distance
    4
    0.266667
    0.27
    Transport
    3
    0.2
    0.2
    cost
    5

    Safety
    1
    0.066667
    0.07

Let us assume pairwise ranking give the following results
    
    Distance 0.27
    Transport 0.20
    cost 0.33
    Accommo 0.13
    Safety 0.07
