latestworld geography the mean
center or as sometimes also called as mean point, is the simplest measure of
the centre of a population distribution. It is similar to the rithmetic mean of
a linear distribution and is worked out very much in the same way. For the
lavation of mean centre on a map showing distribution of points, it is
necessary to device some way of quantifying the location of each of those
points . This is done by calculating the coordinates of each point according to
an arbitrary system.Geographers are familiar to the measurement of location in
terms of latitude and longitude. The first step, therefore involves
superimposing a grid system on the map where the vertical and horizontal exes
are orthogonal and are drawn at equal spacing.
