Question: Consider a problem of locating a central empty container depot in a region with the existing demand (importer-exporter) coordinates and corresponding density weights as given

Consider a problem of locating a central empty container depot in a region with the existing demand (importer-exporter) coordinates and corresponding density weights as given in table. The region is divided into 7 smaller areas where demand is concentrated and considered to be at one point in each region.

Region X Y Annual Load
1 15 25 425
2 25 50 155
3 60 75 175
4 40 35 200
5 50 45 320
6 35 45 180
7 25 10 195

Using a simple median approach, locate the (x, y) coordinates for the required depot to be located in the region.
