1.In your own words, describe how symbology can be influenced by scale.
Symbology can be influenced by scale; one way is the changing of the appearance. The symbol appears different when the scale is skewed.

2. What are two ways (one direct and one indirect) to access a layers symbol colors so that they can be changed? One way is to go directly to the layers panel on the table of contents and right-click on the color for the selected symbol; and then simply change the color of the symbol. One other way is to single click on the symbol you wish to alter. A symbol selector box appears in which you are able to change the fill color and the outline color of the symbol.

3. How would you access the graduated symbols classification option? By double-clicking a layer, then going to the symbology tab, and then going to quantities and graduated symbols.

4. What are 5 other symbology styles (in addition to ‘Conservation’) that are available to customize your features? Five other symbology styles in addition to Conservation are: Crime Analysis, Environmental, Forestry, Hazmat, and Petroleum.

5. How could you permanently save layer symbology for use later on?
By going to the symbol selector properties and simply saving the layer symbology to where ever you want.

6. How can pyramids help raster data display faster? Pyramids document the original information in descending stages of resolution, which in affect help it display quicker.

7. How could you quickly and temporarily change a layer name to aid display in the Table of Contents? By single-clicking on the layer, and simply changing the name of the layer.

8. What is normalization? Give an example of when it would be used.
Normalization is dividing one attribute by another to find the ratio between them. A simple example of when it would be used is between population and area.

9. How could dot density maps be misleading?
They can be misleading enough or large enough to venture outside their symbolized area and confuse the reader.
