Question:

You have been asked to help locate a catering service in the central business district of a city. The locations of potential customers on an xy coordinate grid are P 1 = ( 4, 4), P 2 = ( 12, 4), P 3 = ( 2, 7), P 4 = ( 11, 11), and P = 5 ( 7, 14). The expected demand is weighted as w1 = 4, w 2 = 3, w 3 = 2, w 4 = 4, and w = 5 1. Using the cross- median approach, recommend a location for the catering service that will minimize the total weighted distance traveled to serve the customers.
