Explanation / Answer

x or y coordinate = SUM PRODUCT (Number of Homes, Coordinate)/SUM of (Number of Homes)

a) x coordinate = 0.5*172 + 2*42 + 3*223 + 3*44)/(172+42+223+44) = 2.02

y coordinate = 3.5*172 + 0.5*42 + 1.5*223 + 1*44)/(172+42+223+44) = 2.08

b) D

All the factors mentioned are important. The other fire station must be spaced out. There should be available space in the desired coordinates and zoning considerations are important for rules and regulations
