Question 3 1p A main topic covered in this week's module is Service Facility Location. In his notes, the guest speaker Rene Reitsma, (a professor in the Business Information Systems department at the Colleg of Business, Oregon State University) makes the following comment: Realize 'flat' maps are projections that imply distortion and that different projections imply different distortions. Why does map projection imply distortion of information? O a. Projection always implies the introduction of colors on a map which are different from the ones in reality. O b. Projection is the process of scaling a large and complex reality onto a small area like a piece of paper or a computer screen. This necessarily implies that we leave things out of the map that exist in reality, O c. When we convert the three-dimensional coordinates of locations on the earth's surface into two dimensional coordinates on a map or computer screen we distort shape, distance or both. O d. When making a map we always exaggerate the size of certain things; e.g., the width of roads and borders. Question 4 1 pts Hotelling's "ice cream vendors on the beach" analysis a. helps determine the optimal location on a beach for ice cream vendors to set up their vending carts. o b. computes how much ice cream (demand) vendors can expect to sell on an average day on the beach. Oc.computes both the mean and variation in the queue time that buyers of ice cream would experience when waiting in line. O d. computes only the mean queue time that buyers of ice cream would experience when waiting in line
