My CollegesUSAFAStanfordUCSD Cal PolyGather College Data(We chose 4 colleges that interested us and had to find the information for all the attributes. When we found all the data, we put it in a table.)Undergraduate Full Time Tuition and FeesEstimated Cost of LivingEntering Freshman Weighted GPAEntering Freshman SAT ScoresAverage High Temperature In Fahrenheit(F)Average Low Temperature In Fahrenheit(F)United States Air Force Academy$0$0419956848Stanford$41,787$18,9623.714908038University of California, San Diego$15,864$8,000316607057Cal Poly$5,472$15,8373.356137941Scale to Common UnitsTo scale to common units, we chose measures for each attribute, a minimum and maximum value. For example, for tuition we used 61,000 as the maximum value and 0 as the minimum value. These are reasonable values that we would use to get a decimal using the formula, (number on first graph-min value)/(max value-min value). In this table, we put the answer from this formula.Undergraduate Full Time Tuition and FeesEstimated Cost of living Entering Freshman Weighted GPAEntering Freshman SAT ScoresAverage High Temperature in Fahrenheit (F)Average Low Temperature in Fahrenheit (F) United States Air Force Academy1.001.000.160.180.200.71Stanford0.310.050.280.410.600.46UCSD0.740.600.580.340.270.93Cal Poly0.910.210.430.810.570.54Assign Weights Here we assigned weights to each attribute by rank of importance, a point value form 0-100 and a weight. My total points are 530 for the last row.AttributeUndergraduate Full Time Tuition and FeesEstimated Cost of living Entering Freshman Weighted GPAEntering Freshman SAT ScoresAverage High Temperature in Fahrenheit (F)Average Low Temperature in Fahrenheit (F) Rank of Attribute123456Points1009590805050Weight.19.18.17.15.09.09Applying WeightsTo calculate the weights, we multiplied the number from step 3 by the point weight to get the numbers in this table.
