  2. Mean Population If the United States was a tray of weights with each person represented by an equal weight the mean center would be the point at which the map is completely balanced.

  3. Median Population The point at which there is an equal number of people to the north and south and to the east and west.

  4. Median Center of Population in the U.S. Year Latitude Longitude

  5. Latitude y = -.0073046154x + 40.29095385 Longitude y = .016327028x + 84.19185513 Median Center of Population Linear Regressions Predicted Latitude for 2000: 39.4144 Predicted Longitude for 2000: 86.151098

  6. Actual Median Center of Population for 2000 is at Washington, Indiana

  7. Comparison of Our Predicted With the Actual Median Center of Population • We predicted that the latitude in 2000 would be 39.4144. It actually is 38.7. • We predicted that the longitude in 2000 would be 86.151098. It actually is 87.2.
