Q1-Compare K-means and K-medoids algorithms. List down the main differences between these two algorithms?

Q2-Cluster the following eight points into three clusters using K means clustering algorithm and use Euclidean distance.

A1=(2,10), A2=(2,5), A3=(8,4), A4=(5,8),

A5=(7,5), A6=(6,4), A7=(1,2), A8=(4,9).

a) Create distance matrix by calculating Euclidean distance between each pair of points. (0.5 mark)

b) Suppose that the initial centers of each cluster are A1, A4 and A7. Run the k-means algorithm for once only and show:

i. The new clusters (i.e. the examples belonging to each cluster) (1 mark)

ii. The centers of the new clusters (0.5 mark)

Show all your work.
