If required, round your answers to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Distance from Observation 10 and Observation 4:
Distance from Observation 10 and Observation 20:
Distance from Observation 13 and Observation 4:
Distance from Observation 13 and Observation 20:
Based on complete linkage, the merger of cluster {10,13} and cluster {4,20} is - Select your answer - of these four distances. Thus, the increase in within-cluster dissimilarity of the new merged cluster - Select your answer based on the distance between Observation 13 and Observation 4.
 (b) Using the following data on the Observations 10,13,4, and 20,
