Exercise 8-10 Algo Need help with multiple choice

Consider the following portion of data that lists the starting salaries (in $1,000) of newly hired employees and their college GPAs:

Employee Salary GPA
1 56 3.37
2 58 3.01
3 75 3.84

11 83 3.64

a. Without transforming the values, compute the Euclidean distance for all possible pairs of the first three employees. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

b-1. Compute the z-score standardized salaries and GPAs for the first three employees. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and your final answers to 2 decimal places. Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b-2. Based on the z-score standardized salaries and GPAs, compute the Euclidean distance for all possible pairs of the first three employees. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

c-1. Based on the z-score standardized salaries and GPAs, compute the Manhattan distance for all possible pairs of the first three employees. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

c-2. Based on the z-score standardized Manhattan distance values, identify the pair of the first three employees that are most similar. NEED HELP WITH MULTIPLE CHOICE

multiple choice

  • Employees 1 and 3 Incorrect

  • Employees 1 and 2

  • Employees 2 and 3

  • Undetermined, because the Manhattan distance values give inconclusive results.
