Please answer the following question (1a-1d) using the table and information below! I will rate you highly! Please show your work!

You have been hired by the Governor to locate a facility that will provide some more advanced medical equipment and treatments (MRI, CT, PET, and stem cell therapy). The "high-tech" facility is to be located on the western slope to serve the populations of the cities listed below. You have decided to start the location decision process with a Center of Gravity approach. The population of the cities will be used for the weights in that process.

City X Y Population
Montrose 1 10 19,045
Durango 1 2 17,834
Pagosa Springs 3 2 1,743
Ouray 1.5 7 1,021
Monte Vista 5 4 4,311
Trinidad 9 0.5 8,193

1a) Make a bubble chart, weighing the bubbles by the population.Use 100 for the "size" of the new diagnostic facility.

The questions immediately following these instructions ask for the x and y coordinate of the new facility. If you decide you want to use a map for the plot background, you will most certainly have to tweak the x,y values to accurately correspond to your map.

1b) What is the x-coordinate for the location of the medical facility?Round to two decimal places.

1c) What is the y-coordinate for the location of the medical facility?Round to two decimal places.

1d) List three additional things that you would need to consider before making this location decision.

Remember to use the context of this location problem: locating a medical testing facility in a mountain/rural area. Please do not put the shipping cost.

Please review the Conway list to come up with three things:
