AB  - Selection problems where merit should be used have recently been infected with corrupt and
unscientific subjective behaviours. The eventual problem of illogic that is rife thus far is lack of economic
improvement among nations. The study demonstrates use of statistical methods in ensuring that merit selection
of various candidates can be guaranteed. The method used is a common statistical method used for various
purposes and this study applies it in selection problems to demonstrate the fairness that it endorses. The study
demonstrates the quality of the Simple Additive Weight (SAW) statistic in performing selection in an impartial
manner. The SAW method assisted the selection of a worthy competitor, objectively without the interference
of the analyst.
