3.2 What are your fundamental objectives in the context of renting an apartment while attending college? What
are your means objectives? Create a fundamental-objectives hierarchy and a means-objectives network.
3.3 In the context of renting an apartment (Exercise 3.2), some of the objectives may have natural attribute
scales. Examples are minimizing rent ($) or minimizing the distance to campus (kilometers or city blocks). But
other attributes, such as ambiance, amount of light, or neighbors, have no natural scales. Construct an
attribute scale with at least five different levels, ranked from best to worst, for some aspect of an apartment that
is important to you but has no natural scale.
