Question

Aaron prefers to fly with Qantas rather than Alaska Airlines because of their better safety record. He prefers Jet Blue to Qantas because they have inflight television. However, he would rather fly Alaska than Jet Blue because they have a better customer satisfaction rating. This preference ranking violates the order rule of the five Rules of Actional Thought. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Five Rules of Actional Thought is often referred to as Five Axiom of Decision Making. It includes the following:

1. Probability

2. Order

3. Equivalence

4. Substitution

5. Choice.

The Order Rule declared that one must be ready to have a decision order without any cycles. This can be expressed as follows: If an individual prefers A to B and B to C, he or she must prefer A to C.

Therefore, in this situation: Aaron prefers Qantas to Alaska, and Jet Blues to Qantas. However, since he would rather fly Alaska than Jet Blue because they have a better customer satisfaction rating, shows CYCLE in his decision order.

Hence, in this case, it is TRUE that this preference ranking violates the order rule of the Five Rules of Actional Thought.
