This is for Geography Stats.
I have already found the weighted mean center of population. Which is (3.34,3.48)
and the unweighted mean center (2.94,2.48).
I need to find the Bachi's Weighted Standard Distance. I am completely lost with this part of the question. Any help would be much appreciated! Test tomorrow =(
