Question:

Figure 9.1 shows a clustering of a two-dimensional point data set with two clusters: The leftmost cluster, whose points are marked by asterisks, is somewhat diffuse, while the rightmost cluster, whose points are marked by circles, is compact. To the right of the compact cluster, there is a single point (marked by an arrow) that belongs to the diffuse cluster, whose center is farther away than that of the compact cluster. Explain why this is possible with EM clustering, but not K-means clustering.
