strong superiority	7
very strong superiority	9

Comparing the elements of a hierarchy level
In intermediate cases are put even evaluation: 2, 4, 6, 8 (e.g., 4 - between moderate and significant superiority)

• Which one of the elements A and B is more important or has a greater impact ?
• Which one is more likely?
• Which one is preferable ?

Determination of the normalized priority vector

• The geometric mean in each row of the matrix is calculated:

• The sum of the geometric means is calculated:

• The normalized priority vector (NPV) components are calculated:
