Neco Model Questions Vol1 2018 Government Question 10

Three pressure groups - A, B and C - seek to influence a policy. Their influence is assessed by three criteria with the following weights: Membership size (\(0.4\)), Financial resources (\(0.35\)), and Access to media (\(0.25\)). Scores (out of 10) for each criterion are:\n\n- Group A: Membership 7, Financial 5, Media 8\n- Group B: Membership 6, Financial 9, Media 6\n- Group C: Membership 8, Financial 4, Media 7\n\n(a) Compute the overall influence score for each group and state which group has the highest influence.\n\n(b) A new regulation changes the weights to Membership \(0.55\), Financial \(0.20\), Media \(0.25\) (still summing to 1). Re‑calculate the scores and indicate whether the ranking of the groups changes.
