MEMBERSHIP FUNCTION The following data was determined by the pairwise comparison of work preferences of 100 people: When it
was compared with software (S), 40 persons polled preferred hardware (H), 38 of them preferred teaching
(T), 48 of them preferred business (B) and 30 preferred textile (TX). On comparison with hardware (H), the
preferences were 60 for S, 52 for T, 53 for B and 35 for TX. When compared with teaching, the preferences
were 62 for S, 48 for H, 65 for B and 56 for TX. On comparison with business, the preferences were 52 for S,
47 for H, 35 for T, 60 for TX. When compared with textile, the preferences were 70 for S, 65 for H, 44 for T
10 9 and 40 for B. Using rank ordering plot the membership function for the "most preferred work." self 10
