Finding ………. point in continuous space relative to a set of weighted demand *points (customers, markets, existing facilities, transport network, competition, cargo flows, etc.) is a very important issue in location theory

• the median (or minimum)

• the median (or maximum)

Four warehouses are located within a city at coordinate points P1=(10,20), P2=(14,12), P3=(8,4), and P4=(32,6). The warehouses are served by a centralized distribution center that is to be located in the city. The number of deliveries to be made each year between the distribution center and each warehouse is estimated to be 15, 20, 5, and 30, respectively. Calculate sum of weights for the optimum x-coordinate
