2. Stacy Ennis eats lunch at a local restaurant two or three times a week. In selecting a restau rant on a typical workday, Stacy uses three criteria. First is to minimize the amount of travel time, which means that close-by restaurants are preferred on this attribute. The next objec tive is to minimize cost, and Stacy can make a judgment of the average lunch cost at most of the restaurants that would be considered. Finally, variety comes into play.
