This week, it was discovered that the latitude and longitude for each terrorist attack wasn’t as accurate as initially thought. Although the latitude and longitude are extremely accurate, as they both have 4 or more decimal places, it was thought that the location recorded was the exact place where the terrorist attacks occurred. It turns out that the latitude and longitude for each attack in a given town are the same, meaning that the data is showing that all terrorist attacks are only occurring in one specific location, no matter the timespan. This observation will be written as a source of error or limitation with the data given.
