Final answer:

False. Individually higher scores on each criterion do not guarantee a higher overall weighted score since different weights might be assigned to each criterion in a weighted point evaluation.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. If Tablet A scored higher than Tablet B on each of the evaluation criteria individually, it will certainly have a higher total score. however in a weighted point evaluation system, even if one option scores higher on each criterion individually it doesn't necessarily mean it will have a higher overall score.

This is because each criterion can have a different weight, or importance, assigned to it in the overall calculation. If Tablet B scored marginally lower on high-weighted criteria but much lower on low-weighted criteria, Tablet A could still end up with a higher weighted total score.
