Question 8

4 answers
which is not one of our 4 patterns

uniform- the whole map is consistent(predict one part of the map is the same as the other)
cluster-grouped in map
random- testing how clustered it is

add from slide

Question 22

what kind of mapping is unbias

Answer 22

none

Question 23

what kind of (inherent errors lies) do mapp makers need to look for

just making mistakes(being human)

Question 24

what is a pernicious lie(malicious)

Answer 24

propaganda

copyright infringement- iusiong a map and naming it their own
