The line graph presents data on mean path length and the number of most-preferred alternatives as functions of the number of decision-makers for various synthetic problem dimensions. The x-axis represents the number of decision-makers, ranging from 2 to 10. The left y-axis indicates the mean path length, ranging from 0 to 3, while the right y-axis shows the number of most-preferred alternatives, also ranging from 0 to 3. The graph includes four data series, each represented by different symbols and line styles corresponding to different problem dimensions (z = 1, z = 2, z = 3, z = 4). For z = 1, the mean path length starts at approximately 2.2 for 2 decision-makers and gradually decreases to around 1.2 as the number of decision-makers increases to 10. The number of most-preferred alternatives for z = 1 starts at around 2.2 and decreases to approximately 1.2. All values are approximated.Mean consensus path lengths for various synthetic problem dimensions
