Fundamentals Questions and All
Correct Answers.
What are the steps of designing a cartographic model? - Answer 1. Define Criteria
2. Obtain the data
3. Develop a flowchart or plan
4. Assign weight to criteria
5. Execute model
What are some examples of cartographic models? - Answer Models that rely on the analysis
of data layers.

Federal Functional Class Review
What is the difference between the precision and scale of a number? - Answer Precision is
the total digits (1234.5678 would have a precision of 8)
Scale is the total decimal places (1234.5678 would have a scale of 4)
What is the difference between Quality Control VS Quality Assurance? - Answer Quality
Control - Reactive, done after data is collected and in testing process
Quality Assurance - Proactive, done as the data is being collected, How to prevent mistakes
from happening in collection.
