latest world 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.
